Background
Trauma is a leading cause of mortality and morbidity, disproportionately affecting low- and middle-income countries. Musculoskeletal trauma results in the majority of post-traumatic morbidity and disability globally. The literature has reported many performance indicators relating to trauma care, but few specific to musculoskeletal injuries.

Study objectives
The purpose of this study was to establish a practical list of performance indicators to evaluate and monitor the quality and equity of musculoskeletal trauma care delivery in health systems worldwide.

Methods
A scoping review was performed that identified performance indicators related to musculoskeletal trauma care. Indicators were organized by phase of care (general, prevention, pre-hospital, hospital, post-hospital) within a modified Donabedian model (structure, process, outcome, equity). A panel of 21 experts representing 45 countries was assembled to identify priority indicators utilizing a modified Delphi approach.

Results
The scoping review identified 1,206 articles and 114 underwent full text review. We included 95 articles which reported 498 unique performance indicators. Most indicators related to the hospital phase of care (n = 303, 60%) and structural characteristics (n = 221, 44%). Mortality (n = 50 articles) and presence of trauma registries (n = 16 articles) were the most frequently reported indicators. After 3 rounds of surveys our panel reached consensus on a parsimonious list of priority performance indicators. These focused on access to trauma care; processes and key resources for polytrauma triage, patient stabilization, and hemorrhage control; reduction and immobilization of fractures and dislocations; and management of compartment syndrome and open fractures.

Conclusions
The literature has reported many performance indicators relating to trauma care, but few specific to musculoskeletal injuries. To create quality and equitable trauma systems, musculoskeletal care must be incorporated into development plans with continuous monitoring and improvement. The performance indicators identified by our expert panel and organized in a modified Donabedian model can serve as a method for evaluating musculoskeletal trauma care.

A novel sequence of (19E)-(3-(benzo[b]thiophen-3-yl)-N′-((Z)-5-benzyliden-4-oxo-3-phenyl thiazolidin-2-ylidene)propanehydrazides (6a-f) was synthesized in moderate to good yields from the final intermediate, (E)-(3-(benzo[b]thiophen-3-yl)-N′-(4-oxo-3-phenylthiazolidin- 2-ylidene)propane hydrazide (5). In present work, 3-(benzo[b]thiophen-3-yl)propanoic acid (1) was selected as raw material and compounds such as 1-(benzo[b]thiophen-3-yl)pentan-3-one (2), 3-(benzo[b]thiophen-3-yl)propanehydrazide (3) and 1-(3-(benzo[b]- thiophen-3-yl)-propanoyl)-4-phenylsemicarbazide (4) were materialized as intermediates. All the isolated intermediates and target compounds have been characterized with the data obtained from different spectroscopic methods. The products were also examined against few microorganisms. According to the screening results, the tested targets performed satisfactory growth of inhibition.

Published: August 2023

Zinc oxide doped magnesium ferrite (Mg1-xZnxFe2O4) nanocomposite was synthesized using sol-gel method and demonstrated to have a cubic spinel structure, with a range of crystallite sizes (19-40 nm) and lattice constants (8.432-8.399 Å). The material was found to have two prominent vibrational modes for tetrahedral (446 cm–1) and octahedral (584 cm–1). The dielectric constant was higher at low frequencies and decreased at higher frequencies, while the saturation magnetization decreased (16 to 6 emu/g) gradually with an increase in Zn2+, likely due to the presence of non-magnetic Zn2+. The magneto-dielectric constant was found to increase with the magnetic field for MgFe2O4 and up to a magnetic field of 2000 Oe for the zinc magnesium nanocomposites, after which it decreased for higher magnetic fields. A positive and negative change in magneto-capacitance as a function of the magnetic field was also observed. The antibacterial activity suggests that the substitution of Zn2+ into magnesium ferrite can be an effective method for improving antibacterial activity, with the potential to damage the bacterial membrane and other components through positively charged ions and ROS generated by nanoparticles. Potential uses for this synthetic material include magneto-optical recording and magnetic biosensors.

Optic Nerve Sheath Diameter as a Predictor of Raised Intracranial Pressure Findings on Orbital Ultrasound
Authors: Polasa Aditya  , Lokesh Kumar T.  , Armel Arputha Sivarajan  , Yadav K.R.  
Published: August 2023

BACKGROUND
Several studies have found an association between raised intracranial pressure (ICP) and optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) in conditions with severe head injury and intracranial bleeding. Idiopathic intracranial hypertension is also a cause of elevated ICP. Because the meninges and subarachnoid space around the optic nerve are continuous, a rise in ICP can be detected with an increase in ONSD. The objectives of this study were to correlate Optic Nerve Sheath Diameter (ONSD) with features suggestive of raised intracranial pressure on CT / MRI of the Brain and describe the features suggestive of raised intracranial pressure on CT/MRI Brain in clinically suspected patients.
METHODS
This was a case control study carried out in the Department of Radio-diagnosis at MGMCRI for suspected raised intracranial pressure evaluation. All these patients were subjected to ultrasound examination of the eye and the optic sheath diameter was measured while the patients were in supine posture. ONSD was measured on Mind ray DC8, and/or GE S7 Expert using High frequency linear probe on the closed upper eyelid with adequate aqueous gel as a coupling agent. ONSD was also measured in Philips 1.5T MRI and Ge optima 128 slice CT. Patients were followed up on whether they were treated surgically or medically and if they developed clinical signs of raised ICP such as headache, vomiting, raised blood pressure, double vision, confusion or loss of consciousness.
RESULTS
The raised ICP was observed in 30.67 % of study patients and the optic nerve sheath distension was observed in 37.33% of patients. The diagnostic accuracy of determining the optic nerve sheath diameter was equal such as area under curve, sensitivity and specificity as 0.833, 66.67% and 100 % respectively in both methods.
CONCLUSIONS
ONSD has emerged as an interesting option for measuring intracranial hypertension in brain-injured states, owing to its simplicity, non-invasive nature, and accessibility.

Cardiac involvement in disseminated cysticercosis is a rare presentation. Here we report a case of 32-year-old male who presented with a seizure disorder and was found to have disseminated cysticercosis involving central nervous system, cardiac, intraocular and skeletal muscles.
Disseminated cysticercosis (DCC) is defined as multiple cystic/enhancing cysticercal lesions (>3) in the brain, along with evidence of involvement in another body part, such as the skin, subcutaneous tissues, skeletal muscles, eyes, or other visceral organs.[1] Cysticercosis is a parasitic infection that results from the ingestion of pork tapeworm ova, Taenia solium. The ingested worm ova then hatch in the gastrointestinal tract, penetrate the small intestine, and spread hematogenously to essentially any organ.[2]

ABSTRACT The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the structure and working methods of nurses to become more complex, dynamic and challenging. Nurses as the frontline are required to more quickly adapt to changes in the work environment. Proactive work behavior by giving assignments, relationships and work perceptions of nurses is the implementation of Job Crafting (JC). This study aims to compare how JC nurses are between 3 types of hospital ownership that provide Covid-19 services. This study involved 250 nurses in teaching hospitals, private hospitals and government hospitals in South Sulawesi, Indonesia. Data were analyzed using Compare Means and Linearity Test of Anova. The results showed that the highest scores were for Task Crafting (17.47), Cognitive Crafting (21.73) and Relational Crafting (18.44) in Government Hospitals. The lowest scores were for Task Crafting (17.16) at private hospitals, Cognitive Crafting (20.57) at teaching hospitals, and Relational Crafting (17.57) at private hospitals. Based on the results of the study it can be concluded that job crafting is more dominantly felt by nurses in government hospitals. In addition, of the three variables that have been tested, cognitive crafting has a stronger relationship effect than the other variables. Keywords: Job crafting, Nurse, Pandemic, Hospital
Diagnostic value of serum neuroactive substances in the acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease complicated with depression
Authors: Duan Wei , Cheng Mengyu 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
We aimed to investigate the potential diagnostic value of five serum neuroactive substances in patients with acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD) complicated with depression. A total of 103 patients with AECOPD were enrolled between August 2020 and August 2021. All patients were assessed using a self-rating depression scale and divided into AECOPD with or without depression groups. Baseline data and serum neuroactive substance levels were compared between the two groups. Logistic regression was used to identify the risk factors. The diagnostic performance of neuroactive substances was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves. Patients with AECOPD complicated with depression exhibited higher partial pressure of CO2 values and higher chronic obstructive pulmonary disease assessment test (CAT) scores. An elevated proportion of patients with more than two acute exacerbations (AEs) in the previous year was observed in this patient group (all P < 0.001). The CAT score and number of AEs during the previous year were identified as independent risk factors for AECOPD complicated with depression. No significant differences were observed in the levels of aspartic acid and glutamate between the two groups (P > 0.05). Serum γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and glycine (Gly) levels were decreased. In contrast, serum nitric oxide (NO) levels were increased in the AECOPD complicated with the depression group (P < 0.05). Serum GABA and Gly levels exhibited a negative correlation, and NO levels positively correlated with the number of AEs in the previous year and the CAT score. The area under the ROC curve values for GABA, Gly, and NO were 0.755, 0.695, and 0.724, respectively. Serum GABA exhibited a sensitivity of 85.1% and a specificity of 58.9%, below the cut-off value of 4855.98 nmol/L. Serum GABA, Gly, and NO may represent potential biomarkers for AECOPD complicated with depression.

Published: August 2023

Abstract
To evaluate the clinical significance of detecting serum IgG4 and the IgG4/IgG ratio in patients with thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy (TAO) and to explore whether high serum IgG4 levels and the IgG4/IgG ratio are associated with the severity and activity of TAO, we retrospectively assessed the records of 78 TAO patients and 32 controls collected in our hospital from July 2020 to July 2022. The TAO patients were divided into TAO inactive and TAO active phase groups according to the clinical activity score (CAS), and we evaluated the association between the serum IgG4 levels, the IgG4/IgG ratio, and the clinical data of the participants. The levels of IgG4 significantly increased in the TAO active group compared to those in the inactive and control groups (P < 0.05). Additionally, the number of patients with increased IgG4 levels (≥135 mg/dL) in the TAO active group was markedly higher than that in the inactive and control groups (P < 0.05). The IgG4/IgG ratio was also significantly enhanced in the TAO active group compared to the inactive and control groups (P < 0.05). CAS was identified as an independent factor influencing IgG4 levels in patients with TAO. The levels of serum IgG4, as well as the IgG4/IgG ratio, were significantly increased in some patients with active TAO, and they were related to the CAS, suggesting that the pathogenesis of TAO may be heterogeneous.

The cross-border e-commerce platform selection based on the probabilistic dual hesitant fuzzy generalized dice similarity measures
Authors: Ning Baoquan , Wei Guiwu 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
Cross-border e-commerce platform (CBECP) plays a very important role in the development of a cross-border e-commerce (CBEC). How to select the best CBECP scientifically and reasonably is a very critical multi-attribute group decision-making (MAGDM) issue. With the uncertainty of people’s cognition of the objective world, the decision-making process is full of a lot of fuzzy information. In view of the great advantages of probabilistic dual hesitation fuzzy set (FS) in expressing decision-making information, and in combination with the very extensive use of the Dice similarity measure (DSM), a new MAGDM method is proposed for the optimal CBECP selection (CBECPS) under the probabilistic dual hesitation fuzzy (PDHF) environment. First, on the basis of reviewing a large number of documents on the CBECPS for CBEC, the evaluation index system for the CBECPS is constructed; second, several new DSMs are proposed in the PDHF environment; third, based on the two newly proposed probabilistic dual hesitant weighted generalized Dice similarity measures, two novel MAGDM methods are provided for CBECPS, which are used for CBECPS; finally, the two established MAGDM techniques are compared with the existing decision-making methods, and the parameter analysis is carried out to illustrate the effectiveness and superiority of the two established MAGDM techniques. The two established techniques can not only be used for CBECPS of CBEC, but also be extended to similar related research.

Authors: Huang Xin , Zhang Mingxing , Li Suhong , Li Tuoping 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
In this work, the adsorption and desorption capacities of six resins (HP-20, AB-8, X-5, DM130, HPD100, D4006) for the purification of hawthorn flavonoids were investigated. HP-20 resin was screened out that has the best adsorption capacity, with an adsorption capacity of 24.2 mg/g. Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm model, pseudo first-order and pseudo second-order kinetics and intra particle diffusion model were used to fit the adsorption process. The results indicated that the adsorption process of hawthorn flavonoids by HP-20 was in accordance with the Langmuir isotherm model and pseudo second-order model, and the optimal adsorption temperature was 298 K. The adsorption process was spontaneously exothermic as indicated by thermodynamic parameters. After purification, hawthorn flavonoids showed high acetylcholinesterase inhibitory activities.

Abstract
This study investigated the impact of the extrusion of defatted wheat germ (DWG) on the physical properties of wheat germ protein (WGP) and its efficacy as a novel emulsifier in terms of emulsion stability. Compared with the untreated sample, the particle size of extruded WGP (E-WGP) was decreased by 56.22 %, while the absolute zeta-potential was increased by 40.07 %; the enthalpy increased from 0.013 J/g to 0.078 J/g, and the structure became more orderly. The amount of protein required to produce stable emulsions was much lower for E-WGP than for untreated WGP. Moreover, The E-WGP emulsions showed good storage stability after 7 day of storage at 4 °C, which had higher absolute zeta-potential (24.65 %), emulsifying activity (200.00 %), and turbidity (139.09 %) than the untreated sample. After the freeze-thaw cycle, the E-WGP emulsions had smaller particle sizes and higher turbidity, and their flocculation degree was lower than that of the untreated sample. These findings demonstrate E-WGP can be used as a new innovative emulsifier.

Authors: Singh Vijay , Nande Amol , Dhoble S. J. 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
This study examines the optical properties of Ca2La8−x
(SiO4)6O2:xHo3+ phosphors derived using the sol–gel method. X-ray diffraction data and Rietveld analysis confirmed that the phosphors formed in hexagonal phase with an average estimated crystalline size of 27 nm. The prominent excitation peak observed at wavelength 463 nm corresponding to excitation energy 2.68 eV was due to the 5I8 → 5G6 + 5F1 transition. The photoluminescence emission spectra revealed that the synthesized phosphors emitted in the green color region with the 5S2 + 5F4 → 5I8 transition, releasing 2.27 eV energy. The emission and excitation analyses revealed the presence of concentration quenching as the Ho3+ concentration exceeded 0.03 mol in the Ca2La8−x
(SiO4)6O2:xHo3+ series. Further, photometry analysis demonstrated a color purity exceeding 94 %, which supports the candidacy of these phosphors for solid-state lighting applications.
An analysis of longitudinal residual stresses in EN AW-5083 alloy strips as a function of cold-rolling process parameters
Authors: Tadić Nebojša , Mišović Mitar , Radović Žarko 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
Various process nonhomogeneities in the cold rolling lead to an uneven distribution of deformation across the strip cross-section, resulting in the induction of residual stresses. This study investigates the longitudinal residual stresses in cold-rolled EN AW-5083 aluminum alloy strips using the finite element method (FEM) to achieve reliable predictions. The impacts of process parameters, including the reduction ratio, coefficient of contact friction, and front and back tensions, were analyzed. Changes in residual stresses, depending on the process parameters, were determined by the distribution of linear and shear strains, as well as the strain hardening conditions at the exit part of the deformation zone. An increase in the reduction ratio from 20 to 50%, as well as an increase in the friction coefficient from 0.1 to 0.2, resulted in decreased stress values. The residual stresses on the strip surface, determined by the experimental deflection method, were consistent with the results obtained by FEM simulation. Under the impact of back and/or front tensions, there is a reduction in longitudinal residual stresses, with the front tension exerting the greatest influence. The research results show that the FEM is a reliable tool for predicting residual stresses in cold-rolled strips.
Analog Analogies: Intel v. Hamidi and the Future of Trespass to Chattels
Authors: Brady Maureen E. , Stern James Y. 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
A symposium on great torts cases of the twenty-first century must include Intel Corp. v. Hamidi, the canonical case about whether unwanted e-mail spam sent to a company’s server could give rise to a trespass to chattels claim. While much has been written about Intel, in this Essay, we argue that Intel is as much of a classic for what it reveals about the old-fashioned tort as it is for its more closely examined ruling on “cybertrespass.” The dueling personal property analogies chosen by the majority and dissenting opinions in Intel reveal basic and fundamental disagreements about what sorts of conduct the traditional tort prohibits: specifically, when a plaintiff may obtain nominal damages or an injunction against a defendant’s contact with personal property when that contact does not have lasting physical effects. As we point out, this question arose in cases long before Intel and generated some discussion during the drafting of the First and Second Restatements of Torts. Now, the same question arises in Fourth Amendment law and the law of Article III standing, areas in which recent Supreme Court decisions have elevated trespass-to-chattels analyses to renewed significance. Our Essay indicates the need for further development on open questions in the law of trespass to chattels, suggesting some ways that central tort-law notions like intentionality and custom might provide firmer bases for recognizing the harm in unwanted contact with things.
