IntroductionTo analyze the differences in system functions, interaction behaviors and user experience between iOS and Android smart phone operating system, and then study the differences in their brand images, so as to provide theory and research method for shaping corporate brand images from the perspective of product interaction design.MethodsThis study was divided into three stages. In the first stage, the functional information architecture of iOS and Android smart phone operating system are studied comparatively by using information visualization methods. In the second stage, the brand image differences between the two systems at the explicit, behavioral and semantic levels are analyzed comparatively by building the “explicit - behavioral - semantic” product brand gene model. In the third stage, the functions of “setting alarm clock”, “sharing pictures” and “modifying passwords” were selected for interactive behavior analysis. First, analyze the user experience of the three system functions from the perspective of interaction process and information architecture, and present the analysis results using the method of information visualization.; Secondly, the user experience and brand image differences between the two systems are analyzed by setting up manipulation task experiments.ResultsThe brand images of iOS and Android systems are similar in conciseness, clearness and efficiency; In terms of uniqueness, iOS system is more unique, while Android system has stronger applicability.DiscussionThis study constructs an “explicit-behavior-semantic” brand gene model to create a unique product brand image for software products such as operating systems through interactive design, so as to solve the problem of product brand image homogeneity caused by the convergence of function and interaction design.

IntroductionThe higher rate of neuropsychiatric disorders in individuals with non-syndromic orofacial clefts has been well documented by previous studies. Our goal was to identify children with non-syndromic orofacial clefts that are at risk for abnormal neurodevelopment by assessing their developmental history and present cognitive functioning.Materials and methodsA single-center, case-controlled study was carried out at the Department of Pediatrics of the University of Pécs in Hungary. The study consisted of three phases including questionnaires to collect retrospective clinical data and psychometric tools to assess IQ and executive functioning.ResultsForty children with non-syndromic oral clefts and 44 age-matched controls participated in the study. Apgar score at 5 min was lower for the cleft group, in addition to delays observed for potty-training and speech development. Psychiatric disorders were more common in the cleft group (15%) than in controls (4.5%), although not statistically significant with small effect size. The cleft group scored lower on the Continuous Performance Test. Subgroup analysis revealed significant associations between higher parental socio-economic status, academic, and cognitive performance in children with non-syndromic orofacial clefts. Analyzes additionally revealed significant associations between early speech and language interventions and higher scores on the Verbal Comprehension Index of the WISC-IV in these children.DiscussionChildren with non-syndromic orofacial clefts seem to be at risk for deficits involving the attention domain of the executive system. These children additionally present with difficulties that affect cognitive and speech development. Children with non-syndromic orofacial clefts show significant skill development and present with similar cognitive strengths as their peers. Longitudinal studies with larger sample sizes are needed to provide more conclusive evidence on cognitive deficits in children with non-syndromic orofacial clefts at risk for neurodevelopmental difficulties.

IntroductionThis study investigates family carers experiences of inpatient mental health care for people with dementia. A mental health inpatient admission for a person with dementia is usually considered when a person is distressed and this distress leads to behaviours that are assessed to be risky for the person or others.MethodsParticipants included seven family carers whose relative with dementia had been cared for within a mental health ward in the United Kingdom UK within the last 5 years. Interviews were used to explore the circumstances that led to the admission, expectations of mental health care, and perceptions of care during the admission and support received by family carers.ResultsParticipants described their distress at the time of admission and how the process of admission sometimes added to their distress. Carers often felt excluded from their relatives care in hospital and many felt a loss of their rights. Participants felt that the mental health admission had a negative impact on their relative with dementia. Mental health law and legislation was difficult to navigate and carers were concerned about how much knowledge and understanding of dementia staff have.DiscussionFindings suggest that family carers may benefit from targeted support during their relatives admission. Mental health wards could do more to recognise the expertise in care and knowledge of the person with dementia of family carers and involve them in planning care. More research is needed to explore the experiences and outcomes of people with dementia during such admissions.

ObjectivesThe #MeToo social media campaign raised awareness about sexual harassment. The purpose of the current study was to address three unexplored research questions. First, what factors influenced whether a person posted #MeToo? Second, how did posting (or not) influence participants' wellbeing? Finally, what motivated participants' posting (or not) #MeToo?MethodThis mixed-methods study explores how #MeToo was experienced by full-time employees (N = 395) who could have posted #MeToo (i.e., experienced a sexual harassment event), whether or not they did so. Participants completed surveys in July of 2018 assessing social media use, sexual harassment history, relational variables such as relative power and social support, and job and life satisfaction. Participants also responded to open-ended survey questions about the context of and decisions about #MeToo posting.ResultsQuantitative results indicated that sexual harassment history was the most powerful predictor of #MeToo posting, while power and interpersonal contact also contributed. Qualitative analyses (N = 74) using a grounded theory approach indicated themes associated with decisions to disclose, including feeling a responsibility to post, need for support, and affective benefits. Decisions not to disclose were event-related negative affect, posting-related negative affect, timing of the event, fit with the #MeToo movement, privacy concerns, and fear of consequences.ConclusionThis study contributes to the literature on sexual harassment disclosure by focusing on informal means of disclosure and drawing on comparisons to formal reporting and implications for workplaces. Online sexual harassment disclosure, in many ways, reflects the impediments to formal reporting procedures. Given the increased use of social media for purposes of disclosure, these findings suggests that organizations should recognize the legitimacy of sexual harassment reports made online and consider the possible failings of their formal reporting systems as reasons for online disclosure.

ObjectiveThe hepatotoxicity of exposure to a single heavy metal has been examined in previous studies. However, there is limited evidence on the association between heavy metals mixture and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and metabolic-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD). This study aims to investigate the associations of 13 urinary metals, individually and jointly, with NAFLD, MAFLD, and MAFLD components.MethodsThis study included 5,548 adults from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2003–2018. Binary logistic regression was used to explore the associations between individual metal exposures and MAFLD, NAFLD, and MAFLD components. Bayesian kernel machine regression (BKMR) and Quantile-based g-computation (QGC) were used to investigate the association of metal mixture exposure with these outcomes.ResultsIn single metal analysis, increased levels of arsenic [OR 1.09 (95%CI 1.03–1.16)], dimethylarsinic acid [1.17 (95%CI 1.07–1.27)], barium [1.22 (95%CI 1.14–1.30)], cobalt [1.22 (95%CI 1.11–1.34)], cesium [1.35 (95%CI 1.18–1.54)], molybdenum [1.45 (95%CI 1.30–1.62)], antimony [1.18 (95%CI 1.08–1.29)], thallium [1.49 (95%CI 1.33–1.67)], and tungsten [1.23 (95%CI 1.15–1.32)] were significantly associated with MAFLD risk after adjusting for potential covariates. The results for NAFLD were similar to those for MAFLD, except for arsenic, which was insignificantly associated with NAFLD. In mixture analysis, the overall metal mixture was positively associated with MAFLD, NAFLD, and MAFLD components, including obesity/overweight, diabetes, and metabolic dysfunction. In both BKMR and QGC models, thallium, molybdenum, tungsten, and barium mainly contributed to the positive association with MAFLD.ConclusionOur study indicated that exposure to heavy metals, individually or cumulatively, was positively associated with NAFLD, MAFLD, and MAFLD components, including obesity/overweight, diabetes, and metabolic dysfunction. Additional research is needed to validate these findings in longitudinal settings.

IntroductionAlcohol use disorder is a medical condition characterized by an impaired ability to control or stop alcohol use despite adverse health outcomes. Despite several studies that have analyzed the prevalence and determinants, their results have been equivocal, and the reasons for the differences in prevalence rates and determinants of AUD across nationalities are unknown. Hence, this study estimated the pooled prevalence of alcohol use disorder and its determinant among adults in East Asian countries.MethodsArticles were searched from PubMed, Web of Science, EMBASE, PsycINFO, and Scopus. All observational study designs that fulfilled the predefined criteria were included in the study. The findings were reported following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA). The quality and heterogeneity of articles were assessed using the new castle-Ottawa scale (NOS) and I2, respectively. Additionally, publication bias was checked through funnel plot and Egger's regression test.ResultsA total of 14 articles with 93, 161 study participants were considered in the study. Of which 9 studies were included in the meta-analysis of the 1-year prevalence of alcohol use disorder, 6 in the lifetime, 9 in alcohol abuse, and 8 in alcohol dependency. Consequently, the overall pooled prevalence of one-year alcohol use disorder was 8.88% (95% CI: 6.32, 11.44), lifetime 13.41% (95%CI: 8.48, 18.34), alcohol abuse 5.4% (95% CI: 2.66, 8.13), and alcohol dependency 4.47% (95% CI: 2.66, 6.27). In the subgroup analysis by country, the highest 1-year and lifetime pooled prevalence of alcohol use disorder was observed in Korea at 9.78% (95% CI:4.40, 15.15) and 16.73% (95% CI: 15.31, 18.16), respectively. Besides, smoking (OR: 3.99; 95% CI: 1.65, 6.33) and male gender (OR: 5.9; 95% CI: 3.3, 8.51) were significant determinants of alcohol use disorder.ConclusionsThe magnitude of alcohol use disorder was high among adults in East Asian countries. Smoking and male gender were the key determinants of alcohol use disorders.
Markerless motion tracking to quantify behavioral changes during robot-assisted gait training: A validation study
Authors: van Dellen Florian , Hesse Nikolas , Labruyère Rob 
Published: March 2023

Introduction: Measuring kinematic behavior during robot-assisted gait therapy requires either laborious set up of a marker-based motion capture system or relies on the internal sensors of devices that may not cover all relevant degrees of freedom. This presents a major barrier for the adoption of kinematic measurements in the normal clinical schedule. However, to advance the field of robot-assisted therapy many insights could be gained from evaluating patient behavior during regular therapies.Methods: For this reason, we recently developed and validated a method for extracting kinematics from recordings of a low-cost RGB-D sensor, which relies on a virtual 3D body model to estimate the patient’s body shape and pose in each frame. The present study aimed to evaluate the robustness of the method to the presence of a lower limb exoskeleton. 10 healthy children without gait impairment walked on a treadmill with and without wearing the exoskeleton to evaluate the estimated body shape, and 8 custom stickers were placed on the body to evaluate the accuracy of estimated poses.Results &amp; Conclusion: We found that the shape is generally robust to wearing the exoskeleton, and systematic pose tracking errors were around 5 mm. Therefore, the method can be a valuable measurement tool for the clinical evaluation, e.g., to measure compensatory movements of the trunk.

Lakes have been observed as sentinels of climate change. In the last decades, global warming and increasing aridity has led to an increase in both the number and severity of wildfires. This has a negative impact on lake catchments by reducing forest cover and triggering cascading effects in freshwater ecosystems. In this work we used satellite remote sensing to analyse potential fire effects on lake water quality of Lake Baikal (Russia), considering the role of runoff and sediment transport, a less studied pathway compared to fire emissions transport. The main objectives of this study were to analyse time series and investigate relationships among fires (i.e., burned area), meteo-climatic parameters and water quality variables (chlorophyll-a, turbidity) for the period 2003–2020. Because Lake Baikal is oligotrophic, we expected detectable changes in water quality variables at selected areas near the three mains tributaries (Upper Angara, Barguzin, Selenga) due to river transport of fire-derived burned material and nutrients. Time series analysis showed seasonal (from April to June) and inter-annual fire occurrence, precipitation patterns (high intensity in summer) and no significant temporal changes for water quality variables during the studied periods. The most severe wildfires occurred in 2003 with the highest burned area detected (36,767 km2). The three lake sub-basins investigated have shown to respond differently according to their morphology, land cover types and meteo-climatic conditions, indicating their importance in determining the response of water variables to the impact of fires. Overall, our finding suggests that Lake Baikal shows resilience in the medium-long term to potential effects of fires and climate change in the region.

ObjectiveTo introduce a surgical technique (the “Y” line technique) that will control leg length discrepancy (LLD) after total hip arthroplasty and to observe its effectiveness and influencing factors.MethodsAccording to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, a total of 350 patients were selected in this study; 134 patients in whom used the “Y” line technique was used to control lower limb length were included in Group A and 166 patients treated with freehand methods to control lower limb length were included in Group B. A total of 50 patients in whom the standard anteroposterior x-ray of bilateral hips was taken preoperatively and in whom the “Y” line technique was used during the operation were included in Group C.ResultsThe postoperative LLD of Group A was 4.74 mm (3.93), that of Group B was 5.85 mm (4.60), and that of Group C was 2 mm (1.00)—the difference was statistically significant (p &lt; 0.001). There were significant statistical differences when comparisons were made between any two groups (p &lt; 0.01). The distribution of postoperative LLD in Group A was better than that in Group B, and this factor was better in Group C than in Group A—the difference was statistically significant (p &lt; 0.001). Severe unequal length rates of the lower extremities (LLD &gt; 10 mm) were 5.97% (8/134) in Group A, 14.3% (24/166) in Group B, and 0% (0/50) in Group C—the difference was statistically significant (p &lt; 0.001). There were significant differences between Group A and Group B and between Group B and Group C (p &lt; 0.05), but there was no significant difference between Group A and Group C (p = 0.078).ConclusionThe “Y” line technique, which does not increase the operating time and patient cost, can effectively reduce postoperative LLD. Insufficient internal rotation of the healthy lower extremity and the low projection position in the preoperative anteroposterior x-ray of the bilateral hips were important factors affecting the accuracy of the “Y” line technique.

Published: March 2023

ObjectiveSpinal endoscopic surgery has been promoted rapidly in the past decade, attracting an increasing number of young, dedicated surgeons. However, it has long been denounced for its long learning curve as a factor impeding the development of this state-of-the-art technique. The aim of the present study was to discover what really matters in the educational process of becoming a spinal endoscopic surgeon.MethodsAn online survey consisting of 14 compulsory questions was distributed in April and May 2022 through the First Chinese Spinal Endoscopic Surgeons Skills Competition. Reminders were sent to increase response rates.ResultsOf the 893 emails that were sent, we received 637 responses. A total of 375 (76.7%) surgeons most frequently used endoscopic techniques in their practices. Regardless of their different backgrounds, 284 (75.7%) surgeons thought it would be necessary for a young spinal endoscopic surgeon to perform 300 cases independently in order to become proficient, followed by 500 (n=43, 11.5%), 100 (n=40, 10.7%), and 1,000 (n=8, 2.1%) cases. According to the surgeons, the most difficult aspect of mastering the endoscopic technique is a disparate surgical view (n=255, 68%), followed by adaption to new instruments (n=86, 22.9%) and hand-eye coordination (n=34, 9.1%). The most helpful training method for helping the spinal endoscopic surgeons of younger generations improve is operating on simulation models or cadaver courses (n=216, 57.6%), followed by online or offline theoretical courses (n=67, 17.9%), acquiring opportunities during surgeries (n=51, 13.6%), and frequently participating in surgeries as an assistant (n=41, 10.9%).ConclusionFrom the perspective of surgeons, to be skilled in spinal endoscopic surgery means overcoming a steep learning curve. However, training systems should be given more attention to make them more accessible to younger surgeons so they can work on simulation models or take cadaver courses.

Published: March 2023

BackgroundThe nephrometry scoring system plays a key role in the preoperative evaluation of partial nephrectomy, and scoring systems based on anatomical characteristics have high similarity in scoring elements. Currently, there is little research on scoring systems related to retroperitoneal laparoscopic partial nephrectomy, and there is a lack of research on the combination of scoring elements, which requires further investigation.MethodsWe retrospectively analyzed the clinical records of 107 patients who underwent retroperitoneal laparoscopic partial nephrectomy conducted by a single operator at a single center. The score and scoring elements were generated based on imaging. The scoring elements of each scoring system and all combinations of two to five elements were extracted. The predictive ability of different score combinations was evaluated by AUC value, and the key parameters of the score were found by taking the intersection. A nomogram was constructed and evaluated.ResultsWe observed that with an increase in scoring elements, the strongest combination of elements did not significantly increase the predictive ability of warm ischemia time (P&gt;0.05), postoperative complications (P&gt;0.05), and trifecta achievement (P&gt;0.05). The combination of the maximum tumor diameter and the distance between tumor and collecting system or renal sinus had a good comprehensive predictive ability, and there is no significant difference with the traditional score (P&gt;0.05). The nomogram generated according to this combination has an excellent prediction ability for predicting whether obtain trifecta of partial nephrectomy.ConclusionsWithin the range of two to five elements, the critical degree of elements is more important than the number of elements. The maximum tumor diameter and the distance between the tumor and the collecting system or renal sinus was the key element of the prediction ability.
