Assessing Maternal Attitudes: Development, Validation, and Psychometric Properties of the Mother-Child Reminiscing Scales
Authors: Cen-Yagiz Suzan , Aytac Berna 
Published: June 2023

Objective Mother-child participation in conversations about past events in early childhood has an invaluable influence on child development. While previous studies have focused on the investigation of maternal styles of talking about the past, the role of maternal attitudes towards reminiscing has been overlooked. This paper presents two studies on the development and validation of two separate scales that assess maternal attitudes in mother-child conversations: the Maternal Attitudes Towards Mother-Child Reminiscing Scale (MCRS) and MCRS-Context. Design In Study 1, we have investigated the factor structure of the MCRS ( N = 312) and MCRS-Context ( N = 278) with a sample of mothers whose children aged between 3 and 7. In Study 2, we aimed to test the factor structure obtained by exploratory factor analysis (EFA) in Study 1 using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and we have investigated the psychometric properties of the scales with a different sample of 223 mothers. Results EFA and CFA results have suggested four theoretically consistent factors of the MCRS (interest, competency, satisfaction and difficulty) and a one-factor structure for the MCRS-Context (general positive attitudes in comparison to other mothers). To test construct validity, the relationships with related independent scales were investigated, indicating generally significant and theoretically expected correlations. The test/re-test, Cronbach alpha and composite reliability scores indicated acceptable internal consistency for both scales. Conclusions The findings of both studies provided evidence for the validity and reliability of these scales in evaluating maternal attitudes towards mother-child conversations. It is thought that the studies presented here will provide useful insight for future studies for understanding the link between maternal cognitions and reminiscing practices in mother-child conversations and the effect of that link on child development.

Objective This study examined the perception of dental pain and its relationship to pain anxiety, dental anxiety, and mental pain. Methods This cross-sectional study was conducted on 328 patients referred to dental clinics in Kermanshah (Iran) from 2020 to 2021. The instruments used in this study included scales assessing pain anxiety, dental anxiety, mental pain, and pain perception. Results There was a significant relationship ( p = .001) between pain perception with dental anxiety (r = .38), pain anxiety (r = .45), and mental pain (r = .25). Conclusion Psychological factors are associated with the perception of dental pain. Given the importance of dental care to overall health, psychological interventions may help to reduce the perception of dental pain and fear of seeing dentists in Iran.

Published: June 2023

Objective: To investigate the technique and efficacy of fully endoscope resection of intralabyrinthine schwannomas (ILS) by transcanal transpromontorial endoscopic approach (TTEA). Study Design: Retrospective case review. Setting: Hospital. Patients: All patients who were affected by ILS, without extension to the internal auditory canal and underwent surgery with TTEA in our hospital in 2020. Intervention(s): Therapeutic. Main Outcome Measure(s): Recovery status, postoperative complications and remaining symptoms after surgery. Results: Three patients were included, all of which underwent gross total resections. The follow-up period was from 10 months to 2 years. No intraoperative and postoperative major complications were observed. There was no facial paralysis or cerebrospinal fluid leakage postoperatively. The hospitalization time of TTEA was 5 days. Three patients’ vertigo was relieved after 1 week without receiving vestibular therapy. Only 1 patient complained of transient episodes of vertigo when climbing or holding heavy objects. Conclusions: TTEA has the advantages of clear vision to identify the anatomical structure, enabling complete tumor resection, reduced operation time, and faster postoperative recovery.

Herman Witkin and the Rise and Fall of the Black Learning Style Idea, 1960–2003
Authors: Fallace Thomas 
Published: June 2023

Background/Context: Historical studies of this volatile period in educational history (1960–2003 tend to focus on educational policy and/or curriculum, but rarely address changes in learning theory. Numerous historical studies have traced how psychologists, psychometricians, policymakers, and social scientists have dismissed the intellectual potential of Black students over the course of the 20th century, but these studies have completely overlooked the controversial Black learning style idea and how the idea interacted with the educational and racial discourses of the period. Purpose: This intellectual history traces the rise and fall of the controversial idea that there was a Black learning style. Research Design: Hollinger (1985) defines intellectual history succinctly as the “discourse of intellectuals” (p. 131). Often described as thinking rather than thought, an intellectual history focuses on contingencies, contradictions, and inconsistencies in a discourse; contextualizes the discourse in evolving historical, political, and social contexts; and explores how these changing contexts affect the development of the ideas. Conclusions: The Black learning style and cultural mismatch theories both emerged from the research of psychologist Herman Witkin in the 1950s. The idea was further developed by Rosalie Cohen, Asa Hilliard III, and Janice Hale in the 1970s and 1980s. By the late 1990s, many scholars considered the Black learning style idea to be dangerous and stopped directly referencing it. Despite its eventual rejection, the Black learning style idea inspired many lines of inquiry about the ways that race, culture, and ethnicity impact learning that are still being pursued today. This intellectual history traces the origins, emergence, and fall of the idea that Black students had a different learning and/or cognitive style that clashed with that of White teachers, standardized testing, and American schools.

Published: June 2023

Background Endovascular aortic repair (EVAR) has become the preferred treatment for abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). Its main aim is to seal the perfusion of the aneurysmal sac and, thus, induce sac regression and subsequent aortic remodelling. Aneurysmal sac regression has been linked to the short- and long-term clinical outcomes post-EVAR. It has also been shown to be influenced by endograft device choice, with several of these available commercially. This review summarises and discusses current evidence on the influence of pre- and intraoperative factors on sac regression. Additionally, this review aims to highlight the device-specific variations in sac regression to provide an overall holistic approach to treating AAAs with EVAR. Methods A comprehensive literature search was conducted using multiple electronic databases to identify and extract relevant data. Results Female sex, >70 mm original sac diameters, higher pre-procedural fibrinogen levels, smoking and low intra-aneurysmal pressure were found to positively impact sac regression. Whereas renal impairment, ischemic heart disease, high intra-aneurysmal pressure and aneurysm neck thrombus negatively influenced sac regression. Patent lumbar arteries, age, statins and hypercholesterolaemia displayed conflicting evidence regarding sac regression. Regarding the EVAR endografts compared, newer generation devices such as the Anaconda mainly showed the most optimal results. Conclusion Sac regression following EVAR in AAA is an important prognostic factor for morbidity and mortality. Nevertheless, several pre- and intraoperative factors can have an influence on sac regression. Therefore, it is necessary to take them into account when assessing AAA patients for EVAR to optimise outcomes. The choice of EVAR stent-graft can also affect sac regression, with evidence suggesting that the Fenestrated Anaconda is associated with the most favourable results.
The safety of repeated ketamine dosing in paediatrics: A systematic review
Authors: James Lottie , James Ian G , Wakefield Justin 
Published: June 2023

Background: Ketamine is emerging as an effective, rapidly acting antidepressant in adult research. Hypothetical concerns about its long-term safety and impact on the developing brain are limiting its research in children. However, a wealth of paediatric safety and dosing data exists for ketamine, given its extensive use globally as an anaesthetic, analgesic and sedative agent. Aims: To evaluate the safety of repeat dosing of ketamine in children. Methods: A systematic search of EMBASE, MEDLINE, PsycINFO, Cochrane Library and PubMed from inception to 13 April 2023 was conducted. Included studies were those reporting adverse events when ketamine was given repeatedly to children aged 5–18, for any condition. No language restrictions were applied. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guideline and Joanna Briggs Institute Critical Appraisal Tools Checklist for study quality assessment were used. The review process was performed independently by two reviewers. Results: Five observational studies (87 patients) were included. The maximum number of doses per patient was 42, over a maximum of 4 months. There were no serious adverse events. There was no evidence of needing higher doses with time to indicate tolerance. The longest follow-up period was 6 months. There were no long-term consequences (including neurocognitive) reported within this time frame. Conclusions: These results suggest that, despite methodological limitations of the studies, ketamine is well tolerated and safe for use in children, even when given repeatedly in regimens analogous to those used for the treatment of depression in adults. This finding supports the expansion of research into the use of ketamine as a novel antidepressant in children.

Objective Diffuse alveolar haemorrhage (DAH) is a rare but life-threatening complication of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). We describe the clinical characteristics, treatment and survival outcomes of SLE patients with DAH in Singapore. Methods We conducted a retrospective review of the medical records of SLE patients with DAH hospitalised in 3 tertiary hospitals between January 2007 and October 2017. Patient demographics, clinical characteristics, laboratory, radiologic and bronchoscopic findings, as well as the treatments, were compared between survivors and non-survivors. Survival rates were analysed between the various treatment groups. Results A total of 35 patients with DAH were included in this study. Majority of them were female (71.4%) and of Chinese ethnicity (62.9%). Median age was 40.0 years (IQR: 25–54), with a median disease duration of 8.9 months (IQR: 0.13–102.4). Haemoptysis was the most common clinical presentation, and majority had concomitant cytopaenia and lupus nephritis. All patients received high dose glucocorticoids; 27 (77.1%), 16 (45.7%) and 23 (65.7%) received cyclophosphamide (CYP), rituximab (RTX), and plasmapheresis (PLEX), respectively. Twenty-two patients required mechanical ventilation with a median duration of 12 days. Overall mortality rate was 40%, with a median survival time of 162 days. Twenty-six patients (74.3%) achieved remission, with an overall median time to remission of 12 days (IQR: 6–46) after diagnosis of DAH. Patients on triple therapy (CYP, RTX and PLEX) had a median survival of 162 days as compared to 14 days in patients on PLEX alone ( p = .0026). Conclusions The overall mortality of DAH in SLE patients remained high. There were no significant differences in patient demographics or clinical characteristics between the survivors and non-survivors. However, better survival appears to be associated with treatment with cyclophosphamide.

Published: June 2023

Objectives This study aims to provide updated data on the incidence and prevalence of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) in New Zealand and to examine the difference between ethnic groups. Methods We identified the SLE cases from the national administrative datasets. The date of first identification of SLE was the earliest date of a related inpatient event or the earliest date of a related outpatient event. The crude incidence and prevalence of SLE in 2010–2021 were estimated by gender, age group and ethnicity. The WHO (World Health Organization) age-standardised rate (ASR) of incidence and prevalence of SLE was calculated, after stratifying the cases by ethnicity and gender. Results The average ASR of incidence and prevalence of SLE in 2010–2021 was 2.1 and 42.1 per 100,000 people in New Zealand. The average ASR of incidence for women was 3.4 per 100,000 for women and 0.6 for men. It was highest for Pacific women (9.8), followed by Asian women (5.3) and Māori women (3.6), and was lowest for Europeans/Others (2.1). The average ASR of prevalence was 65.2 per 100,000 for women and 8.5 for men. It was highest for Pacific women (176.2), followed by Māori women (83.7) and Asian women (72.2), and was lowest for Europeans/Others (48.5). The ASR of prevalence of SLE has been increasing slightly over time: from 60.2 in 2010 to 66.1 per 100,000 in 2021 for women and from 7.6 in 2010 to 8.8 per 100,000 in 2021 for men. Conclusion The incidence and prevalence of SLE in New Zealand were comparable to the rates in European countries. Pacific people had the highest incidence and prevalence of SLE, more than three times the rates for Europeans/others. The high incidence of SLE in Māori and Asian people also has implications for the future as these populations increase as a proportion to the total population.

Published: June 2023

Background: The purpose of this study was to validate the Foot and Ankle Outcome Score (FAOS) for osteochondral lesions of the talus (OLTs). We hypothesize that the FAOS will meet all 4 psychometric criteria for validity in this patient population. Methods: From 2008 to 2014, a total of 208 patients with OLTs were included in the construct validity portion of the study. All patients completed FAOS and 12-Item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-12) scores. Twenty additional patients were prospectively recruited and were asked to complete questionnaires to determine the relevance of each of the FAOS questions as it related to their OLT. Forty-four patients completed the FAOS 1 month after the first FAOS to assess reliability via Spearman correlation coefficient. Responsiveness of the FAOS was assessed with 54 patients who had both preoperative and postoperative FAOS scores via Student paired t test with significance determined as P < .05. In total, 229 unique patients were included in this study. Results: Statistically significant associations were found between all FAOS and SF-12 subscales ( P < .01). The FAOS symptoms subscale demonstrated the lowest correlation with the SF-12 physical health domains. No floor or ceiling effects were identified. Weak correlations were calculated between the 5 FAOS subscales and the SF-12 mental component summary score. All FAOS domains met the threshold for acceptable content validity (score > 2.0). All FAOS subscales demonstrated acceptable test-retest reliability, with ICC values ranging from 0.81 (ADL) to 0.92 (Pain). Conclusion: This study demonstrates the acceptable yet moderate construct and content validity, reliability, and responsiveness of the FAOS for patients with OLTs of the ankle joint. We endorse the use of the FAOS in evaluating ankle OLTs in both the research and clinical setting and consider it a useful patient-reported, self-administered instrument following surgical intervention. Level of Evidence: Level IV, retrospective case study.

Published: June 2023

Background: There has been growing interest in patient-reported outcomes in foot and ankle surgery, and the fulfillment of patient expectations is a potentially powerful tool that compares preoperative expectations and perceived postoperative improvement. Prior work has validated the use of expectation fulfillment in foot and ankle surgery. However, given the wide spectrum of pathologies and treatments in foot and ankle, no study has examined the association between expectation fulfillment and specific diagnosis. Methods: This is a retrospective cohort study consisting of 266 patients who completed the Foot & Ankle Expectations Survey and the Foot and Ankle Outcome Survey (FAOS) preoperatively and 2 years postoperatively. A fulfillment proportion (FP) was calculated using the pre- and postoperative Foot & Ankle Expectations Survey scores. An estimated mean fulfillment proportion for each diagnosis was calculated using a multivariable linear regression model, and pairwise comparisons were used to compare the FP between diagnoses. Results: All diagnoses had an FP less than 1, indicating partially fulfilled expectations. Ankle arthritis had the highest FP (0.95, 95% CI 0.81-1.08), whereas neuromas and mid/hindfoot diagnoses had the lowest FPs (0.46, 95% CI 0.23-0.68; 0.62, 95% CI 0.45-0.80). Higher preoperative expectations were correlated with lower fulfillment proportions. Conclusion: FP varied with diagnosis and preoperative expectations. An understanding of current expectation fulfillment among different diagnoses in foot and ankle surgery helps highlight areas for improvement in the management of expectations for presumed diagnoses. Level of Evidence: Level III, retrospective review of prospective cohort study.

Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the impact of the pressure gradient on papilledema after stenting in patients with idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) patients and venous sinus stenosis (VSS). Materials and Methods: In this prospective cohort study, we examined 121 patients with IIH and VSS who underwent stenting. The papilledema Frisen grade at the 1-month follow-up was used as a grouping factor (favorable outcome: 0–1; unfavorable outcome: 2–5). We used multivariable logistic regression modeling to determine independent predictors of favorable outcome. The performance of the prediction model was evaluated using a receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis. Results: A total of 96 patients had papilledema grades 0 to 1, and 25 patients had papilledema grades 2 to 5. Patients with the first group had significantly lower gradient pressures preoperatively (15.2 mmHg vs. 21.4 mmHg, p=0.001) and postoperatively (2 mmHg vs. 3.3 mmHg, p=0.002) relative to those in the second group. Multivariate analysis indicated that preoperative pressure gradient (odds ratio [OR] = 1.119; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.034–1.211]) and postoperative pressure gradient (OR = 1.498; 95% CI = 1.147–1.957) were independent predictors of favorable outcome. In the ROC analysis, the cut-off pressure gradient for the highest sensitivity (0.44) and specificity (0.874) was 22.75 mmHg, with a Youden’s index of 0.314. Survival analysis demonstrated that patients with a preoperative pressure gradient <22.75 mmHg had more rapid improvement of papilledema than did those with a pressure gradient >22.75 mmHg (mean+SD: 2.639+0.382 [95% CI: 1.890–3.388] versus mean+SD: 3.882+0.884 [95% CI: 2.149–5.616]; p=0.004). Conclusion: A significant reduction in the pressure gradient appears to be strongly correlated with the success of VSS in patients with IIH. A higher preoperative pressure gradient may reduce stenting efficacy in patients with IIH. Clinical Impact Venous sinus stenting has the potential to yield substantial clinical advantages in individuals diagnosed with idiopathic intracranial hypertension with venous sinus stenosis. Nevertheless, a heightened preoperative pressure gradient could lead to less favorable results. Thus, the early adoption of venous sinus stenting is advised to avert additional irreversible clinical deterioration among idiopathic intracranial hypertension patients with venous sinus stenosis.
Does a Cognitive Network Contribute to Motor Recovery After Ischemic Stroke?
Authors: Lee Jungsoo , Kim Yun-Hee 
Published: June 2023

Background In stroke patients, preserved cognitive function plays a role in motor recovery, but there is insufficient evidence on the involved mechanisms. These mechanisms require investigation in the human brain, which is composed of large-scale functionally specialized networks. Objective In this study, we investigated the role of cognition-related networks on upper extremity motor recovery using neuroimaging data of subacute stroke patients. Methods This study retrospectively analyzed cohort data of 108 subacute ischemic stroke patients. All patients underwent resting-state functional MRI and motor function assessments using the Fugl-Meyer assessment (FMA) at 2 weeks after stroke onset. The FMA upper extremity (FMA-UE) score was obtained again at three months after stroke onset to assess motor recovery. To construct a resting-state network, cortical surface parcellation was performed using the Gordon atlas, which included 333 regions of interest, and 12 resting-state networks were extracted. Linear regression was used to identify the relationships between the FMA-UE recovery score and resting-state networks. Results Cognition-related networks were correlated with the FMA-UE recovery score, as were motor-related networks. Interaction effects between motor- and cognition-related network states existed in motor recovery. Specifically, cognition-related networks were associated with motor recovery in patients with a lower strength of motor-related networks. Conclusions These results suggested that the greater the damage to the motor network caused by stroke is, the more important the cognition-related networks are in motor recovery.
