The impact of change consultants’ dialogic mindset: towards a game-theoretic explanation
Authors: Nagaishi Makoto 
Published: September 2023

AbstractThis study aims to provide a theoretical argument and examples supporting the author’s proposition that change consultants’ mindsets significantly impact resulting performances. While some scholars assert diagnostic and dialogic change processes can co-exist as complementary modes of engagement, the other stream of research postulates that (1) the diagnostic and dialogic “mindsets” rely on different behavioral assumptions and (2) the distinction between “methodologies” and “mindsets” is critical in analyzing whether the practices are diagnostic or dialogic. In the author’s preliminary game-theoretic settings, successful collective outcomes are highly probable with the dialogic mindset of change consultants, irrespective of the types of adopted methodologies. By contrast, dialogic methodologies in the later stage may not lead to successful collaboration if the change initiative started from the diagnostic interventions with a diagnostic mindset.

Published: September 2023

Airborne geophysical methods offer a substantial advantage compared to ground-based techniques in exploring territories of different sizes, ranging from entire metallogenic provinces to the deposit scale, including those hosting critical minerals. An airborne method with measurements of natural magnetic field variations, known as audio frequency magnetotellurics (a passive field method), significantly increases the depth of investigation and expands the resistivity detection range compared with some controlled-source primary-field methods. We describe the technical solutions used in an airborne electromagnetic passive system with a mobile sensor of the total magnetic field variations and the stationary sensor of electric field variations, and its applications to recovering the complex geology of hydrothermal-magmatic systems often associated with critical minerals. The system’s ability to explore depths, typically beginning from the near-surface and down to 1–2 km, by recording responses in three orthogonal inductive coils over a broad bandwidth from 22 Hz to 21,000 Hz allows for mapping resistivities across a broad range. This capability is crucial for obtaining more comprehensive exploration models. Field case studies of the natural field system include application in exploring for unconformity uranium mineralization, along with other associated minerals, epithermal gold and polymetallic-bearing structures, and ferromanganese and polymetallic deposits formed in a continental rift valley. An extra case study involving kimberlites was incorporated as a proven example of the natural field system’s capability in conducting near-surface and deep investigations. The case histories illustrate the airborne natural electromagnetic field technology capabilities in recovering geoelectric models and their specific patterns.

Abstract

Context
Turner syndrome (TS) is the most common chromosomal aberration in women; it is the result of structural or numeric abnormalities in the X chromosome. Autoimmune hypothyroidism has been recognized as one of the more prominent disorders associated with TS.

Objective
This work aimed to study the prevalence of autoimmune diseases in TS.

Methods
A cross-sectional, longitudinal, 25-year follow-up study was conducted of patients from adult Turner centers at the University Hospitals, Sweden. During 1994 to 2020, a total of 503 women aged 16 to 71 years with TS were evaluated consecutively every fifth year according to national guidelines. A random population sample of women, n = 401, aged 25 to 44 years, from the World Health Organization Monitoring of Trends and Determinants for Cardiovascular Disease (MONICA) project served as controls. Serum thyrotropin, free thyroxine, vitamin B12, antithyroid peroxidase (anti-TPO), and antitransglutaminase antibodies were measured.

Results
Mean follow-up time (years) was 16 ± 7 for patients and 13 ± 1 for controls. From study start, the prevalence increased in TS for hypothyroidism 40% to 58%, vitamin B12 deficiency 5% to 12%, celiac disease 4% to 7%, positive anti-TPO 26% to 41%, and antitransglutaminase antibodies 6% to 8% (P &lt; .0001 vs controls). Type 1 diabetes and Addison disease were rare. The only interrelationship was between hypothyroidism and vitamin B12 deficiency, both in TS and controls. No association between autoimmune disease and karyotype, antecedent growth hormone treatment, or ongoing estrogen hormone replacement, was seen in TS.

Conclusion
In women with TS up to older than 80 years, more than half developed hypothyroidism, mainly autoimmune, during follow-up. Awareness of vitamin B12 deficiency and celiac disease throughout life is also recommended in women with TS.

Published: September 2023

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES:
Some studies have shown that female patients had a poorer prognosis after endovascular treatment for ruptured intracranial aneurysm than male patients. However, data have been sparse regarding differences in the periprocedural and perioperative complication rate with ruptured and unruptured intracranial aneurysms.

METHODS:
This retrospective cohort study used data from the Stroke Thrombectomy and Aneurysm Registry, a database of 9 institutions in the United States, Europe, and Asia. The study presented intracranial aneurysms after microsurgical and/or endovascular treatment from January 1, 2013, to December 31, 2022. The primary outcome was incidence of periprocedural cerebral infarction. Secondary outcomes were periprocedural intracranial hemorrhage, periprocedural mortality, perioperative vasospasm, and functional outcome at 90 days after procedure.

RESULTS:
Among 3342 patients with aneurysm, 2447 were female and 857 were male, and the mean age of female and male patients was 59.6 and 57.1 years, respectively. Current smoker, family history of aneurysm, and ruptured aneurysm were observed in 23.5% vs 35.7 %, 10.8 % vs 5.7%, and 28.2% vs 40.5% of female and male patients, respectively. In female patients, internal carotid artery aneurysms were more commonly observed (31.1% vs 17.3%); however, anterior cerebral artery aneurysms were less commonly observed (18.5% vs 33.8%) compared with male patients. Periprocedural cerebral infarction rate was lower in female than male patients (2.4% vs 4.4%; P = .002). The adjusted odds ratio of primary outcome of female to male patients was 0.72 (95% CI, 0.46-1.12). Incidence of periprocedural intracranial hemorrhage and periprocedural mortality and perioperative symptomatic vasospasm and functional outcome was similar in both groups. In subgroup analysis, periprocedural cerebral infarction due to microsurgical treatment occurred frequently in male patients while incidence in endovascular treatment was similar in both groups (interaction P = .005).

CONCLUSION:
This large multicenter registry of patients undergoing intracranial aneurysm treatment found that female patients were not at increased risk of perioperative complications.
Surgical Management of Neurogenic Thoracic Outlet Syndrome: Exploring the Efficacy of the Posterior Intermuscular Approach in Cases Involving Bone Anomalies
Authors: Tolga Gediz , Nilay Yalçın Çavuşoğlu , Umut Mutlucan Ogün , Çağrı Türk Cezmi 
Published: September 2023

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES:
This article presents a cohort study focusing on neurogenic thoracic outlet syndrome (NTOS) caused by bone anomalies in the cervicothoracic region, specifically the extraforaminal area and the scalene triangle. Our aim was to contribute to understanding NTOS diagnosis and management, particularly in patients with bone anomalies, and to highlight the potential benefits of the posterior intermuscular approach as a surgical option in this particular patient group.

METHODS:
We retrospectively evaluated the patients who underwent surgery for NTOS with accessory ribs or an elongated cervical vertebrae 7 (C7) transverse process (n = 9). Patients' clinical data, preoperative neurophysiological tests, cervical computed tomography (CT) scans, CT angiography, and postoperative cervical CT scans were reviewed. A single experienced surgeon used the posterior intermuscular approach on all patients. The accessory rib and/or elongated C7 transverse process and fibrous bands were removed; C7, C8, and T1 branches of the plexus were decompressed; and neurolysis was performed. Quality of life, a functional outcome, was measured by using Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH) questionnaire, and pain was measured using visual analog scale scores.

RESULTS:
The mean follow-up time after surgery was 7 months (range: 4-10 months). Before surgery, the mean DASH score was 55.8 ± 5.6. At the 3- and 6-month postoperative evaluations, the mean DASH scores decreased to 15.7 ± 5.8 and 15.4 ± 5.7, respectively. The mean visual analog scale score was 8.2/10 before surgery and decreased to 2.4/10 and 2.1/10 at the 3- and 6-month postoperative evaluations, respectively. All patients experienced good or excellent recovery at the 3- and 6-month postoperative evaluations.

CONCLUSION:
Cervicothoracic extraforaminal area may be the primary site of nerve compression in NTOS, and posterior decompression using the posterior intermuscular approach can provide efficient access to extraforaminal nerve roots.
Gastric epithelial stem cells in development, homeostasis and regeneration
Authors: Alvina Fidelia B. , Chen Tanysha Chi-Ying , Lim Hui Yi Grace , Barker Nick 
Published: September 2023

ABSTRACT
The stem/progenitor cell pool is indispensable for the development, homeostasis and regeneration of the gastric epithelium, owing to its defining ability to self-renew whilst supplying the various functional epithelial lineages needed to digest food efficiently. A detailed understanding of the intricacies and complexities surrounding the behaviours and roles of these stem cells offers insights, not only into the physiology of gastric epithelial development and maintenance, but also into the pathological consequences following aberrations in stem cell regulation. Here, we provide an insightful synthesis of the existing knowledge on gastric epithelial stem cell biology, including the in vitro and in vivo experimental techniques that have advanced such studies. We highlight the contributions of stem/progenitor cells towards patterning the developing stomach, specification of the differentiated cell lineages and maintenance of the mature epithelium during homeostasis and following injury. Finally, we discuss gaps in our understanding and identify key research areas for future work.
Outcomes of Women Undergoing Mastectomy for Unilateral Breast Cancer Who Elect to Undergo Contralateral Mastectomy for Symmetry: A Systematic Review
Authors: Griffin Cora , Fairhurst Katherine , Stables Imogen , Brunsden Sam , Potter Shelley 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
Background
Breast reconstruction (BR) is routinely offered to restore symmetry after mastectomy for breast cancer. Not all women, however, may want reconstructive surgery. A contralateral mastectomy (CM) to achieve “flat symmetry” can be an excellent alternative, but surgeons are often reluctant to offer this procedure. This systematic review aimed to summarize the available evidence regarding the outcomes of CM as the first step to developing guidelines in this area.

Methods
PubMed, MEDLINE, CINAHL and PsycINFO were searched to identify primary research studies, published in English between 1 January 2000 and 30 August 2022, evaluating clinical or patient-reported outcomes for women who underwent a CM without reconstruction after a mastectomy for unilateral breast cancer. Simple descriptive statistics summarized quantitative data, and content analysis was used for qualitative data.

Results
The study included 15 studies (13 quantitative, 1 qualitative, and 1 mixed-methods) evaluating outcomes for at least 1954 women who underwent a bilateral mastectomy without reconstruction (BM) after unilateral breast cancer. The risk of surgical complications after BM was higher than after unilateral mastectomy without reconstruction (UM) but significantly less than after BR. Satisfaction with the decision for BM was high in all the studies. Key themes relating to flat denial, stigma, and gender-based assumptions were identified.

Conclusion
Women electing to undergo BM reported high levels of satisfaction with their decision and complication rates similar to those for UM. Further study is needed to comprehensively explore the outcomes for women seeking BM, but these data should give surgeons confidence to offer the procedure as an alternative option for symmetry after unilateral mastectomy for breast cancer.

Authors: Mahay Usman , Jenkins Paul , Watkins Linda , Mandal Indrajeet , Lewis Omotolani , Harborne Katrina Elizabeth , Patel Shian , Reicher John , Liu Wing Yan , Zhong Jim , Hamady Mohamad 
Published: September 2023

Objective: Interventional radiology (IR) training in the UK has evolved since recognition as a subspecialty in 2010 and introduction of a new curriculum in 2021. The changing landscape, increasing workload and COVID-19 have affected training. The purpose of this study was to review trainees’ perspectives on training and develop strategies to further improve training. Methods: Online survey approved by the British Society of Interventional Radiology Council distributed to British Society of Interventional Radiology Trainee members between 9 March 22 and 25 March 2022. The survey was open to all UK based ST4-6 IR trainees and fellows. Descriptive and thematic analysis was undertaken. Results: 43 responses were received from 17/19 UK training regions. Females represented 10% (4/41) and 5% (2/43) less than full time (LTFT) trainees. 82% (31/38) felt their curriculum was suitable for their training and 28/38 (74%) were satisfied with IR training. Vascular IR, Interventional Oncology, paediatrics and stroke thrombectomy were identified as areas of training desiring improvement. 45% (18/40) stated exposure to IR led clinics and 17.5% (7/40) to IR led ward rounds. Only 6/38 (15.7%) received structured IR teaching at least once a month. Approximately, a third of respondents (13/38) stated training opportunities were significantly compromised secondary to COVID-19. Conclusion: This survey shows overall good satisfaction with IR training. However, improved training opportunities in vascular IR, interventional oncology, paediatric IR and stroke thrombectomy are required. In addition, access to clinics, ward rounds and protected time for research is needed to improve training quality. Advances in knowledge: New national UK IR training survey.

Não há um consenso no campo em finanças sobre a relação da educação/alfabetização financeira e o comportamento financeiro, evidenciando um gap de pesquisa sobre o entendimento de tais resultados contraditórios. Este artigo tem por objetivo apresentar os resultados de uma revisão integrativa sobre o impacto da educação/alfabetização financeira na tomada de decisão das pessoas sob a ótica das Finanças Comportamentais. Os resultados revelaram que a existência de resultados contraditórios pode ser explicada pela falta de contextualização da educação/alfabetização financeira. Foram encontrados diversos moderadores subjacentes que influenciam no efeito percebido das intervenções da educação e alfabetização. Ademais, foram evidenciados constructos teóricos que explicam as formas de intervenção e estratégias de moderação de tais efeitos. Este trabalho fornece uma visão holística sobre a relevância da educação/alfabetização financeira na tomada de decisão. Acredita-se que este artigo possa servir de referência para a construção de novas pesquisas e práticas mais eficazes de educação financeira.
Current trends, barriers, and facilitators of use of core outcome sets in Cochrane systematic reviews: Protocol
Authors: Saldanha Ian , Hughes Karen , Dodd Susanna , Lasserson Toby , Kirkham Jamie , Lucas Samuel , Williamson Paula 
Published: September 2023

Background: Core outcome sets (COS) represent agreed-upon minimum outcomes that should be reported in all studies in a given topic area. Cochrane reviews are considered among the most rigorously conducted systematic reviews (SRs). In 2019, seven of the first 100 published Cochrane SRs (7%) cited a COS in relation to choosing outcomes. A relevant COS existed but was not mentioned (or cited) for 27 of the remaining 93 SRs (29%). Among Cochrane Review Group editors surveyed in 2019, 86% felt that COS should definitely/possibly be used in Cochrane SRs. As of September 2019, the Cochrane Handbook recommends that SR teams consult resources that host relevant COS when choosing outcomes for the SR. Objectives: (1) Examine the extent to which authors are currently considering COS to inform outcome choice in Cochrane protocols and completed SRs. (2) Understand author barriers and facilitators of using COS in Cochrane protocols and completed SRs. Methods: We will examine the extent to which all Cochrane SRs published in the last 3 months of 2022 and all Cochrane protocols published in 2022: (a) cited a COS, (b) searched for COS, and (c) reported outcome inconsistency among included studies and/or noted the need for COS. One investigator will extract information from SRs and protocols; a second extractor will verify all information, discussing discrepancies to achieve consensus. Using Jisc Online Surveys®, we will conduct an online survey of authors of all the included completed SRs and protocols to assess author awareness of COS and identify barriers and facilitators of using COS to inform outcome choice. Discussion: This study will provide key information regarding uptake of COS by Cochrane SR authors and the barriers and facilitators that they experience. Our findings will inform approaches to increasing awareness and uptake of COS in future SRs, both within and beyond Cochrane.

Background: Among the various causes for dyspepsia in patients presenting to the gastroenterology department, Helicobacter pylori is the most common etiological agents. Here, we explore the prevalence of Helicobacter pylori infection, particularly, in dyspeptic patients and different endoscopic findings in such patients. Methods: We conducted a simple observational study in the gastroenterology department of a tertiary care center of Nepal. The Helicobacter pylori was detected using rapid urease test and endoscopic findings were collected from gastroduodenoscopy unit. The obtained data was analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (IBM-SPSS), version 22. Results: The overall prevalence of Helicobacter pylori infection in dyspeptic patients in our center was found to be 0.329 (0.259 – 0.406) at 95% Confidence Interval (CI). There was significant association of Helicobacter pylori infection with alcohol history (12 [52.17] vs 44 [29.93], p = 0.035) and endoscopic findings of duodenal ulcer (3, 100%) followed by gastritis (29, 50.88%). Conclusions: Amidst various etiology for dyspepsia, Helicobacter pylori was still prevalent at our center. However, considering the variability of its prevalence due to factors like alcohol history, more comprehensive studies are needed to estimate actual proportion in patients presenting with dyspeptic symptoms.
Case Report: Tuberculous abscess of the popliteal fossa: A case report

Published: September 2023

Introduction Tuberculosis of the soft tissues is a rare form of extra pulmonary tuberculosis, and isolated localization in the popliteal fossa is particularly exceptional. Atypical clinical presentation can lead to delayed diagnosis and serious complications. Case report We report the case of a 17-year-old patient who was diagnosed with tuberculosis of the popliteal fossa. He presented with a painful inflammatory swelling of the right popliteal fossa associated with a homolateral inguinal lymph node, without knee joint effusion. Standard chest and knee X-rays were normal, while MRI showed an 8 cm well vascularized, partly liquefied mass in the popliteal fossa, developed in contact with the semimembranosus and medial gastrocnemius muscles, associated with a popliteal lymph node without synovial effusion or thickening. Microbiological tests did not isolate any germs. The diagnosis was made on histological examination after biopsy, which revealed a caseous granuloma surrounded by epithelioid cells. The patient was treated with anti-tuberculosis therapy for 9 months. The clinical and radiological regression of the swelling was observed without recurrence at 2 years of follow-up. Conclusion Any soft tissue abscess should raise suspicion of tuberculosis, especially in endemic countries. The importance of histopathological examination should be emphasized to establish the diagnosis in the absence of signs in favor of a primary localization.
