Authors: Zarg el Ayoun Radhwen , Chtourou Mohamed F. , Beji Hazem , Kchaou Majdi , Belfekih Houda , Chelbi Emna , Mighri Mohamed M. , Touinsi Hassen 
Published: March 2023

Background:
Anaplastic thyroid carcinoma (ATC) is a rare malignancy with a poor prognosis. It is characterized by abrupt development with local and distant metastases. Metastases are essentially present in the lung. Pancreatic metastasis is extremely rare. The authors report that, to their knowledge, this is the first reported case of a patient who developed metachronous pancreatic metastasis related to ATC.

Case Presentation:
A 65-year-old woman, with a history of thyroidectomy, 2 years prior, for an anaplastic thyroid tumor presented in his regular follow-up computed tomography scan a hypodense lesion of the head of the pancreas. Definite diagnosis of neoplasm was difficult following the computed tomography-guided fine-needle aspiration biopsy. The patient had a cephalic duodenopanceatectomy with an uneventful recovery. Histopathology concluded in a pancreatic metastasis of ATC metastasis. The patient had uneventful outcomes with a follow-up of 3 months without tumor recurrence.

Conclusion:
Pancreatic metastases of thyroid carcinomas are extremely rare, particularly for ATC. The diagnosis of metastases is based on a regular follow-up. The prognosis is poor despite curative surgery.
Bilateral Page kidney in a postpartum female: a case report
Authors: Regmi Pradeep , Shrestha Suraj , Poddar Elisha , Sharma Deewakar 
Published: March 2023

Introduction and Importance:
Page kidney results from external compression of the kidney by a subcapsular hematoma and is one of the rare but treatable causes of secondary hypertension. The majority are traumatic or iatrogenic and often unilateral. Spontaneous bilateral Page kidney is rare.

Case Presentation:
A 35-year P1 with gestational hypertension presented with a persistent postpartum elevation of blood pressure (BP). Imaging studies revealed bilateral renal subcapsular hematoma (left>right). She was managed with an angiotensin receptor blocker initially and ultrasound-guided percutaneous drainage of the collection for the optimal control of elevated BP.

Clinical Discussion:
Ultrasonography and computed tomography of the kidneys are the most frequently used for diagnosing a Page kidney. Medical management with antihypertensive and regular follow-ups form the first line of treatment in Page kidneys. Percutaneous drainage, surgical decortication, laparoscopic intervention, and nephrectomy are necessary in cases of organized late hematomas.

Conclusion:
Spontaneous bilateral Page kidney is a rare but potentially treatable and curable form of hypertension. Percutaneous drainage is an effective method to drain the hematoma and control elevated BP.

Published: March 2023

Background:
There seems to be a lack of consistency of maintenance/community-based rehabilitation through long-term care insurance. We aimed to clarify whether consistent rehabilitation can be performed through long-term care insurance by questionnaires.

Materials and Methods:
This study was a cross-sectional study in a nationwide survey among rehabilitation staff and care recipients who completed disease-specific rehabilitation and required maintenance/community-based rehabilitation through long-term care insurance. Consistency of rehabilitation was compared using Fisher’s exact tests. The concordance of the rehabilitation evaluation and treatment conducted under medical and long-term care insurance was assessed using the κ coefficient.

Results:
Six hundred questionnaires from care recipients and staff were analyzed. Of the rehabilitation staff, 264 (44%) obtained rehabilitation plans from medical institutions. There was a significant difference between the responses of “referral from the same medical corporation” and “obtaining the rehabilitation plan” by Fisher’s exact test (odds ratio: 3.242; P<0.001). Most rehabilitation treatments under medical insurance comprised walking or training with parallel rods/canes [498 patients (83%)], and 454 patients (76%) received stretching and range-of-motion training for the limbs and spine for long-term care insurance. Muscle strength evaluation was the most frequently conducted under medical and long-term care insurance [383 (73%) and 487 (83%), respectively]. The concordance of the evaluation and treatment content, except for disease-specific evaluation, was low (κ coefficient≤0.6).

Conclusions:
The rate of provision of rehabilitation plans was low, and evaluation and treatment content under medical and long-term care insurance was inconsistent. Our results draw attention to the need for consistent rehabilitation plans between disease-specific and maintenance/community-based rehabilitation.
Ninety-day all-cause emergency room use among coronary artery bypass grafting patients associated with near-infrared fluorescence imaging: a retrospective cohort study
Authors: Sosa Michelle P. , McNicholas Deirdre G. , Bebla Arbelina B. , Emont Seth , Cao Zhun , Lipkin Craig , Ajmani Vivek , Muehrcke Derek D. 
Published: March 2023

Background:Reducing emergency room (ER) use may indicate the improved quality of patient care at index hospitalization. The aim of this study is to determine whether the use of near-infrared fluorescence (NIRF) imaging with indocyanine green (ICG) during coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery is associated with a lowered 90-day all-cause ER use.Materials and Methods:This retrospective cohort study included adult patients with inpatient hospitalizations between January 2016 and June 2020 for an isolated CABG procedure at a US hospital. Propensity score matching was used to create matched cohorts to address the differences in patient, payer type, hospital, and clinical characteristics. A multivariable regression analysis was conducted to determine the association of NIRF imaging with ICG on ER use within 90 days of discharge after controlling for patient, payer type, hospital, and clinical covariates.Results:In total, 230 506 adult patients underwent an isolated CABG procedure. Less than 1% (n=1965) were assessed with NIRF imaging using ICG. There were differences in patient demographic and hospital characteristics between the treatment group (i.e. NIRF with ICG) and the comparison group (i.e. no NIRF with ICG). After controlling for covariates, a statistically significant lower 90-day all-cause ER use was documented among the treatment group (adjusted odds ratio=0.84, 95% confidence interval=0.73–0.96,P<0.009). Reasons associated with ER use were similar between the two groups.Conclusion:Routine intraoperative graft patency assessment with NIRF imaging using ICG may help to improve a patient’s care experience and reduce subsequent resource utilization. Intraoperative graft patency assessment with NIRF imaging using ICG is associated with a 90-day all-cause ER use reduction among CABG patients. Further studies are needed to compare the ER usage among centers that used this technique versus those that did not to determine if associated reductions in ER use are a center or technique-specific phenomenon.
Early pyeloplasty and excision of a multicystic kidney in a neonate with a complicated nephrostomy: A case report
Authors: Raslan Hasan , Danial Aghyad K. , khallouf Fatima , Hamsho Ola , Abdullatif Shahd , Assaf Ragheb 
Published: March 2023

Introduction and Importance:
The association of multicystic renal dysplasia with ureteropelvic junction obstruction is noteworthy in newborn. However, the possibility of conservative management is still a primary requirement, unless there are complications that suggest surgery. The authors are studying a case of a newborn in which an incorrect nephrostomy led to complications that required emergency surgery.

Case Presentation:
A newborn girl with left-side ureteropelvic junction obstruction and an enlarged and multicystic right kidney was operated on at an early age by unexpert hands, leading to complications. Was monitored daily, and an emergency procedure was done. Following up shows the success of the emergency operation.

Clinical Discussion:
The age and the precise timing of intervention are controversial. In this case, several postnatal diagnostic tests were made due to the severity of the hydronephrosis in the antenatal period, which resulted in the implementation of percutaneous nephrostomy.

Conclusion:
Authors suggest that it is better to not operate as long as the patient’s condition is stable
Artificial intelligence and machine learning in pain research: a data scientometric analysis
Authors: Lötsch Jörn , Ultsch Alfred , Mayer Benjamin , Kringel Dario 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
The collection of increasing amounts of data in health care has become relevant for pain therapy and research. This poses problems for analyses with classical approaches, which is why artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) methods are being included into pain research. The current literature on AI and ML in the context of pain research was automatically searched and manually curated. Common machine learning methods and pain settings covered were evaluated. Further focus was on the origin of the publication and technical details, such as the included sample sizes of the studies analyzed with ML. Machine learning was identified in 475 publications from 18 countries, with 79% of the studies published since 2019. Most addressed pain conditions included low back pain, musculoskeletal disorders, osteoarthritis, neuropathic pain, and inflammatory pain. Most used ML algorithms included random forests and support vector machines; however, deep learning was used when medical images were involved in the diagnosis of painful conditions. Cohort sizes ranged from 11 to 2,164,872, with a mode at n = 100; however, deep learning required larger data sets often only available from medical images. Artificial intelligence and ML, in particular, are increasingly being applied to pain-related data. This report presents application examples and highlights advantages and limitations, such as the ability to process complex data, sometimes, but not always, at the cost of big data requirements or black-box decisions.
“A Comparative Study of Wrap-Around versus Anterior Coverage Placement of Acellular Dermal Matrix in Prepectoral Breast Reconstruction”
Authors: Han Woo Yeon , Han Seong John , Eom Jin Sup , Kim Eun Key , Han Hyun Ho 
Published: March 2023

Background:
Prepectoral direct-to-implant insertion with acellular dermal matrix (ADM) is the currently preferred surgery for breast reconstruction. There are different placements of ADM, which are largely classified as wrap-around placement or anterior coverage placement. Since there is limited data comparing these two placements, this study aimed to compare the outcomes of these two methods.

Methods:
This was a retrospective study of immediate prepectoral direct-to-implant breast reconstructions performed by a single surgeon between 2018 and 2020. Patients were classified depending on the ADM placement type utilized. Surgical outcomes and breast shape changes using nipple position during follow-up were compared.

Results:
A total of 159 patients were included in the study, with 87 in the wrap-around group and 72 in the anterior coverage group. Demographics were similar between the two groups, excluding ADM usage amount (154.1 cm 2 vs. 137.8 cm 2, P=0.01). There were no significant differences in the overall rate of complications between the two groups including seroma (6.90% vs. 5.56%, P=1.0), total drainage amount (762.1 mL vs. 805.9 mL, P=0.45) and capsular contracture (4.6% vs. 1.39%, P=0.38). The wrap-around group had a significantly longer distance change than that of the anterior coverage group in the sternal notch-to-nipple distance (4.44% vs. 2.08 %, P=0.03) and mid-clavicle-to-nipple distance (4.94% vs. 2.64%, P=0.04).

Conclusion:
Wrap-around and anterior coverage placement of ADM in prepectoral direct-to-implant breast reconstruction showed similar complication rates including seroma, drainage amount and capsular contracture. However, wrap-around placement can make the breast more ptotic in shape compared to anterior coverage placement.

Learning outcomes
After studying the case, the students will be able to: 1. understand the business and existing HR practices at Precision Engineering; 2. evaluate the factors affecting business that may require the company to formalise its HR practices; 3. create recruitment and selection-related solutions for HR 2.0 using appropriate models and theory to aid the company meet its business goals; 4. create training needs identification and evaluation practices for HR 2.0 using appropriate models and theory to aid the company meet its business goals; and 5. create performance planning and review-related solutions for HR 2.0 using appropriate models and theory to aid the company meet its business goals. The case helps students objectively assess HR practices related to three core verticals – recruitment and selection; training; and performance management systems. It also enables them to reassess these practices with the help of specific metrics and models.

Case overview/synopsis
Precision Engineering was a manufacturer of machined metal components in the Indian automotive components industry. It had been a family-run business since its inception in 1995. Precision was awarded the prestigious Automotive Component Manufacturers of India award in 2020 for excellence in HR. Ms Sakshi Kapoor, General Manager of Innovation, was ecstatic at the receipt of this award. She, however, was thoughtful about the informal human resource (HR) practices at the company. The top management had announced an aggressive growth plan and advised Ms Kapoor to leverage HR practices to facilitate these plans. Recruitment and selection, employee training and performance management systems needed to be formalised on a priority basis to strategically aid the future business agenda at Precision. Ms Kapoor faced the challenge of preparing the roadmap of HR 2.0 while preserving the employee-centric beliefs at Precision. The case initiates a discussion to achieve this goal by adopting suitable HR metrics and models.

Authors: Tan Qin , Zhang Yali , Li Xinle , Pu Jian , Yang Shu , Jin Zhongmin 
Published: March 2023

Purpose
This study aims to systematically investigate the tribological behaviors of metal and polyethylene using lubricants composed of four synovial fluid (SF) components. In addition, the changes in protein conformation during wear were analyzed to establish the correlation between protein conformation and tribological properties.

Design/methodology/approach
A pin-on-disk tester with multidirectional sliding motion was used for tribological properties observation between metal and polyethylene pairs. Simulated SFs with four main constituents were used as the testing lubricants. Differential scanning calorimetry and Raman were used to characterize the changes in protein conformation during wear.

Findings
The coupling of lipids and hyaluronic acid further suppressed protein denaturation. The protein structures of the adsorption film and the ensnared protein chains in the friction zone were maintained to a certain extent, thus improving the friction and wear of polyethylene.

Originality/value
These findings established the correlation between protein conformation and friction and wear, promoting the understanding of the lubrication mechanism of artificial joints.
Continuous usage intention for digital library systems among students at higher learning institutions: moderating role of academic involvement
Authors: Misra Pankaj , Chopra Gaurav , Bhaskar Preeti 
Published: March 2023

PurposeThis research work aims to study the continuous usage intention of students for digital library systems in higher learning institutions (HLI). Additionally, keeping in mind the lack of focus on academic involvement of students in existing studies, this research work attempts to examine the moderating role of academic involvement in making up the continuous usage intention for digital library systems among students at HLI.Design/methodology/approachCross-sectional survey design is used in this study. Target population is students pursuing postgraduate studies and using digital library systems at private universities in the state of Uttarakhand, India. The Stratified random sampling method is used wherein each private university forms one stratum.FindingsThe results suggest that the students' continuous usage intention for digital library systems is significantly influenced by dimensions of digital library system quality, mediated by user satisfaction. Further, the level of academic involvement of students exerts moderating impact between dimensions of digital library system quality and user satisfaction; however, it d oes not exist between user satisfaction and their continuous usage intention.Research limitations/implicationsThis study contributes to the literature on academic involvement of students by highlighting its importance in the process of continuous usage intention. It also proposes a holistic conceptual framework for continuous usage intention for digital library systems among students and moderating impact of academic involvement. Being cross-sectional survey-based research, this study has certain limitations. Since responses were obtained at a single point in time, variation in respondents' behaviour could not be captured.Practical implicationsThe findings of the study can be helpful to the HLI, academic librarians, teachers, digital library systems service provider companies and government regulatory authorities. HLI need to put more effort into procuring subscriptions to reputed publications of e-books, e-research papers, e-magazines, e-reports, etc. for making digital library systems more beneficial for the students. Academic librarians need to be effortful towards building students' satisfaction through constantly upgrading software and systems and active interaction with students. Digital library systems service provider companies can also collaborate to customize their digital resources for different types of academic programs. The government can partnership with private companies for providing digital library systems in HLI.Originality/valueThis research work is the first of its kind in terms of studying the role of academic involvement of students for purpose of evaluating continuous usage intention for digital library systems among students studying in Indian HLI.
FDI, disinvestment and growth: an appraisal of Bhutanese economy
Authors: Ansari Mohammad Sultan Ahmad , Khan Shad Ahmad 
Published: March 2023

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to appraise the influence and challenges of direct disinvestment or through foreign direct investment (FDI) in the Kingdom of Bhutan, particularly to identify the inflow of disinterment post pandemic and how it can be improved.

Design/methodology/approach
The authors investigated the influence of FDI on Bhutan’s economy by analyzing secondary published data by Asian Development Bank and government agencies of Bhutan. To find out the role FDI has played in the growth of the Bhutanese Economy.

Findings
The FDI is not playing a major role in the nation’s economy so far. However, its potential cannot be ignored as there is a need for foreign currency and expertise in the country. Furthermore, government policies are directly influencing the inflow of foreign exchange that affects the Bhutan’s economy. FDI has not increased considerably because of self-imposed restrictions blocking government policies.

Research limitations/implications
This research is based on the data collected from secondary sources, which could be considered as the main limitation of this study. The Himalayan kingdom is not much open to the outside world in terms of the publication and availability of the data. Researchers put their best effort in retrieving secondary data from authentic sources.

Practical implications
This research has direct implications from an institutional perspective on the government policies and procedures. This study throws light on the elements that might help in improving Bhutan’s economy, employment and productivity for an overall development of economy.

Social implications
Bhutan and similar countries need to understand the pros and cons of having FDIs. This study might help the government and the civil society to understand the trends FDI has triggered in the nation over last 30 years, and will help them to make appropriate policies and regulations dealing with foreign investments.

Originality/value
This paper underwrites the influence of disinvestment on Bhutan’s economy, which can revolutionize business, entrepreneurship and institutions. This research was conducted by analyzing secondary data released by authorized agencies, which indicated the lower inflow of foreign exchange and how to improve further.
