Published: March 2023

Background/objective We have been practising the Neuropsychological and Educational Approach to Remediation (NEAR) as cognitive remediation (CR) in a psychiatric hospital and have implemented it in combination with regular interviews based on Motivational Interviewing (MI) approximately 2 years after launching NEAR. In this study, we investigated whether combining MI with CR affected completion of the programme, cognitive functions, global functioning, and personal recovery of patients with schizophrenia by analysing medical records. Methods In this retrospective observational study, 14 participants were assigned to the NEAR group and 12 participants were assigned to the NEAR + MI group. Fifteen participants in the NEAR group ( n = 6) and NEAR + MI group ( n = 9) completed the programme. First, the difference in the completion rate between the groups was examined using the chi-squared test. Second, measures of cognitive functions, global functioning, and personal recovery pre-and post-intervention were examined using the Wilcoxon signed-rank tests for those in each group who completed the programme. Third, therapeutic responses for each group were compared using the Mann–Whitney U tests. Results There were no statistically significant differences in completion rates between the groups. In the NEAR group, verbal memory and overall cognition improved after the intervention. On the other hand, not only cognitive functions but also global functioning and personal recovery improved in the NEAR + MI group. Moreover, changes in global functioning and personal recovery were significantly higher in the NEAR + MI group. Conclusion Study findings indicated that combining MI with CR improves cognitive functions, global functioning, and personal recovery in patients with schizophrenia.

Objective Development of personalized sleep–wake management tools is critical to improving sleep and functional outcomes for shift workers. The objective of the current study was to test the performance, engagement and usability of a mobile app ( SleepSync) for personalized sleep–wake management in shift workers that aid behavioural change and provide practical advice by providing personalized sleep scheduling recommendations and education. Methods Shift workers ( n = 27; 20 healthcare and 7 from other industries) trialled the mobile app for two weeks to determine performance, engagement and usability. Primary outcomes were self-reported total sleep time, ability to fall asleep, sleep quality and perception of overall recovery on days off. Secondary performance outcomes included sleep disturbances (insomnia and sleep hygiene symptoms, and sleep-related impairments) and mood (anxiety, stress and depression) pre- and post-app use. Satisfaction with schedule management, integration into daily routine and influence on behaviour were used to determine engagement, while the usability was assessed for functionality and ease of use of features. Results Total sleep time ( P = .04), ability to fall asleep ( P < .001), quality of sleep ( P = .001), insomnia ( P = .02), sleep hygiene ( P = .01), sleep-related impairments ( P = .001), anxiety ( P = .001), and stress ( P = .006) were all improved, with non-significant improvements in recovery on days off ( P = .19) and depression ( P = .07). All measures of engagement and usability were scored positively by the majority of users. Conclusions This pilot trial provides preliminary evidence of the positive impact of the SleepSync app in improving sleep and mood outcomes in shift workers, and warrants confirmation in a larger controlled trial.
Performance feedback and firms search behaviors: Role of corporate governance in companies around the world
Authors: DasGupta Ranjan , Mishra Sibanjan 
Published: March 2023

Research on firm’s motivation to undertake search behaviors in situations of positive and negative performance feedback is limited in empirical literature. In addition, the role of institutionalized corporate governance mechanisms in mediating firm’s aspiration-driven search behaviors is yet to be explored. Therefore, this study aims at examining whether firms around the world facing positive and negative performance feedback undertake different search behaviors. Furthermore, we test whether firm’s corporate governance mechanisms strengthen such search behaviors. This study reports that negative performance feedback positively influences firm problem-driven search behaviors, whereas positive performance feedback positively impacts its innovative search behaviors. Furthermore, we find a significant negative moderating influence of board strength, while a mixed positive influence of board effectiveness on firm performance feedback to carry out distinctive search behaviors. Therefore, we think that these findings would help the regulators and policy makers to strengthen their existing corporate governance mechanisms and regulations. JEL CLASSIFICATION: G30, G32, G34

Published: March 2023

Purpose To describe the reverse shoulder arthroplasty angle (RSA angle) in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and compare the angle formed using bony landmarks (Bony RSA angle or B-RSA angle) with another angle formed using the cartilage margin as reference (Cartilage RSA angle or C-RSA angle). Methods Adult patients with a shoulder MRI obtained in our hospital between July 2020 and July 2021 were included. The C-RSA angle and B-RSA angle were measured. All images were independently assessed by 4 evaluators. Intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) was determined for the B-RSA and C-RSA to evaluate interobserver agreement. Results A total of 61 patients were included with a median age of 59 years (17-77). C-RSA angle was significantly higher than B-RSA (25.4° ± 0.7 vs 19.5° ± 0.7, respectively) with a P-value <.001. The overall agreement was considered “good” for C-RSA (ICC = 0.74 [95% CI 0.61-0.83]) and “excellent” for B-RSA angle (ICC = 0.76 [95% CI 0.65-0.85]). Conclusions C-RSA angle is significantly higher than B-RSA angle. In cases without significant glenoid wear neglecting to account for the remaining articular cartilage at the inferior glenoid margin may result in superior inclination of standard surgical guides.
Is the right way to go in between?

AbstractIn the study by Johnston et al., gepants were meant to be taken to treat emergent migraine. It is tempting to speculate what the effect would be if patients were instructed to take a gepant as needed (PRN) or even prior to headache onset. While the latter sounds irrational at first glance, several studies have shown that a significant proportion of patients are quite proficient in predicting (or simply due to premonitory symptoms noting) their migraine attacks prior to the onset of actual headache. The study by Johnston et al. provides food for thought along these lines and should encourage us to further investigate flexible patient-controlled CGRP blocking as a third, intermediate and potentially cost-effective avenue between acute/rescue treatment and prevention/prophylaxis.

Abstract
Objective
Studies have shown that obesity has a significant impact on poor surgical outcomes. However, the relationship between obesity and pediatric epilepsy surgery has not been reported. This study aimed to explore the relationship between obesity and complications of pediatric epilepsy surgery and the effect of obesity on the outcome of pediatric epilepsy surgery, and to provide a reference for weight management of children with epilepsy.

Methods
A single-center retrospective analysis of complications in children undergoing epilepsy surgery was conducted. Body mass index (BMI) percentiles were adjusted by age and used as a criterion for assessing obesity in children. According to the adjusted BMI value, the children were divided into the obese group (n = 16) and nonobese group (n = 20). The intraoperative blood loss, operation time, and postoperative fever were compared between the two groups.

Results
A total of 36 children were included in the study, including 20 girls and 16 boys. The mean age of the children was 8.0 years old, ranging from 0.8 to 16.9 years old. The mean BMI was 18.1 kg/m2, ranging from 12.4 kg/m2 to 28.3 kg/m2. Sixteen of them were overweight or obese (44.4%). Obesity was associated with higher intraoperative blood loss in children with epilepsy (p = 0.04), and there was no correlation between obesity and operation time (p = 0.21). Obese children had a greater risk of postoperative fever (56.3%) than nonobese children (55.0%), but this was statistically nonsignificant (p = 0.61). The long-term follow-up outcomes showed that 23 patients (63.9%) were seizure-free (Engel grade I), 6 patients (16.7%) had Engel grade II, and 7 patients (19.4%) had Engel grade III. There was no difference in long-term seizure control outcomes between obese and nonobese groups (p = 0.682). There were no permanent neurological complications after surgery.

Conclusion
Compared with nonobese children with epilepsy, obese children with epilepsy had a higher intraoperative blood loss. It is necessary to conduct early weight management of children with epilepsy as long as possible.

AbstractBackgroundPregnancy-related mortality in the United States is the greatest among all high-income countries, and Georgia has one of the highest maternal mortality rates—almost twice the national rate. Furthermore, inequities exist in rates of pregnancy-related deaths. In Georgia, non-Hispanic Black women are nearly 3 times more likely to die from pregnancy-related complications than non-Hispanic White women. Unlikehealth equity, a clear definition ofmaternal health equityis lacking, overall and in Georgia specifically, but is needed to reach consensus and align stakeholders for action. Therefore, we used a modified Delphi method to define maternal health equity in Georgia and to determine research priorities based on gaps in understanding of maternal health in Georgia.MethodsThirteen expert members of the Georgia Maternal Health Research for Action Steering Committee (GMHRA-SC) participated in an iterative, consensus-driven, modified Delphi study comprised of 3 rounds of anonymous surveys. In round 1 (web-based survey), experts generated open-ended concepts of maternal health equity and listed research priorities. In rounds 2 (web-based meeting) and 3 (web-based survey), the definition and research priorities suggested during round 1 were categorized into concepts for ranking based on relevance, importance, and feasibility. Final concepts were subjected to a conventional content analysis to identify general themes.ResultsThe consensus definition of maternal health equity created after undergoing the Delphi method is: maternal health equity is the ultimate goal and ongoing process of ensuring optimal perinatal experiences and outcomes for everyone as the result of practices and policies free of interpersonal or structural bias that tackle current and historical injustices, including social, structural, and political determinants of health impacting the perinatal period and life course. This definition highlights addressing the current and historical injustices manifested in the social determinants of health, and the structural and political structures that impact the perinatal experience.ConclusionThe maternal health equity definition and identified research priorities will guide the GMHRA-SC and the broader maternal health community for research, practice, and advocacy in Georgia.

Published: March 2023

Abstract
Introduction
Suicide and suicide attempts are among the most important indicators of mental health in the world. In this research, the validity and reliability of Literacy of Suicide Scale (LOSS) was examined in general people over the age of 18.

Methods
This cross-sectional psychometric study was conducted in 2022 among 952 general population in Iran. Participants were selected by two methods of proportional stratified sampling and simple random sampling. The internal consistency of the tools was assessed using Cronbach’s alpha coefficient, and McDonald omega coefficient. Also, test-retest reliability was checked by Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC).

Results
In the confirmatory factor analysis section, the factor loading of all questions were above 0.4 and one questions were deleted and final model with four factors and 25 questions was confirmed (Some of goodness-of-fit indexes: AGFI = 0.910, RMSEA = 0.050, IFI = 0.901, and χ2/df = 3.333). For all questions, the Cronbach’s alpha coefficient was 0.859, McDonald omega coefficient was 0.866, and ICC was 0.895. Finally, the Persian long version of LOSS was approved with 25 items and four subscales: causes/triggers (9 items), risk factors (7 items), signs and symptoms (5 items) and treatment/prevention (4 items).

Conclusion
The Persian long version of LOSS with four subscales and 25 items is an appropriate tool to investigate the state of suicide literacy in the public population.

Published: March 2023

Abstract
Purpose
The purpose of this study was to describe and evaluate the use of a specially designed hollow trephine to create the entry point through the femoral condyle during retrograde interlocking intramedullary nailing for femoral fractures.

Methods
From June 2019 to December 2021, we treated 11 patients (5 men, 6 women; mean age, 64 years; age range 40–77 years) with mid-distal femoral fractures by retrograde intramedullary femoral nailing using a self-designed hollow trephine for femoral condyle reaming and cancellous bone harvesting. The mode of all the nails is static. Patients were followed up at 1, 4, 8, and 12 weeks and for at least 6 months after surgery. The healing process and heterotopic ossification were evaluated by imaging. Partial weight bearing was permitted during the recovery period and complete weight bearing was permitted after clinical healing of the fracture displayed by X-ray.

Results
The operation was successful in all patients. Over mean follow-up of 9.3 months (range, 6.0–12.0 months), all patients achieved clinical healing within three months. There were no complications such as knee joint infection, heterotopic ossification, knee joint adhesion and wedge effect.

Conclusion
The use of the hollow trephine during femoral retrograde intramedullary nailing helps avoid postoperative complications such as heterotopic ossification, knee joint adhesions, and wedge effect. It also facilitates bone graft harvesting.
A retrospective study on application of a classification criterion based on relative intervertebral tension in spinal fusion surgery for lumbar degenerative diseases
Authors: Hou Yang , Shi Hongyang , Zhao Tianyi , Shi Haoyang , Shi Jiangang , Shi Guodong 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
Background
As an important part of spinal fusion procedure, the selection of fusion cage size is closely related to the curative effect of the surgery. It mainly depends on the clinical experience of surgeons, and there is still a lack of objective standards. The purpose of this study is to propose the concept of relative intervertebral tension (RIT) for the first time and its grading standards to improve the surgical procedures of lumbar interbody fusion.

Methods
This retrospective study was conducted from January 2018 to July 2019. A total of 83 eligible patients including 45 men and 38 women with lumbar degenerative disease underwent transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF) were included in this study. A total of 151 fusion segments were divided into group A, group B and group C according to the grading standards of RIT. In addition, parameters of intervertebral space angle (ISA), intervertebral space height (ISH), intervertebral space foramen (IFH), fusion rates, cage-related complications and cage heights were also compared among the three groups.

Results
The ISA in group A was the smallest among three groups in contrast with group C with largest ISA at the final follow-up(P < 0.05). The group A presented the smallest ISH and IFH values(P < 0.05), compared with group B with the largest ISH and IFH values(P < 0.05). These two parameters in the group C were in-between. The fusion rates of group A, group B and group C were 100%, 96.3% and 98.8% at the final follow-up, respectively. No statistical difference in fusion rates and cage-related complications occurred among the three groups(P > 0.05), and a certain correlation between ISH and RIT was also observed.

Conclusions
The concept of RIT and the application of its clinical grading standards could simplify the surgical procedures of spinal fusion and reduce cage-related complications.

Abstract
Introduction
Neobladder urolithiasis is a rare but important delaying complication of orthotopic urinary diversion. We report a case of Hem-o-Lok (HOLC) migration into the neobladder with giant stone formation after orthotopic neobladder cystectomy.

Case report
We report a case of a 57-year-old man with frequent urination and occasional discharge of stones 3 years after a laparoscopic orthotopic neobladder cystectomy. Computed tomography revealed a large round 3.5 cm calculus. An endoscopic neocystolitholapaxy was performed, and a Hem-o-Lok was found in the center of the stone.

Conclusion
We described the case presentation, treatment and analysis of etiology of stone formation to avoid such complication.
Comparing the shear bond strength of veneering materials to the PAEKs after surface treatments
Authors: Kiliç Mustafa , Dede Doğu Ömür , Küçükekenci Ahmet Serkan 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
Background
This study aimed to evaluate the impact of various surface treatments on the shear bond strength (SBS) of polyetheretherketone (PEEK) and polyetherketoneketone (PEKK) polymers to indirect laboratory composite (ILC) and lithium disilicate ceramic (LDC) veneering materials.

Methods
Polymer specimens (7 × 7x2 mm) were sectioned from PEEK and PEKK discs (N = 294) and randomly allocated to 7 groups (n = 20); untreated (Cnt), plasma (Pls), 98% sulfuric acid (Sa), sandblasting with 110 µm Al2O3 (Sb), tribochemical silica coating with 110 µm silica modified Al2O3 (Tbc), Sb + Sa, Tbc + Sa. Scanning electron microscopy assessments were performed on one sample of each treatment group, and veneering materials were applied to the remaining specimens (n = 10). The specimens were subjected to the SBS test after being soaked in distilled water (24 h, 37 °C). Three-way ANOVA, independent sample t-test, and Tukey HSD test were performed for statistical analyses (α = .05).

Results
The surface treatment, polymer, veneering material types, and their interactions were significant on SBS results according to the 3-way ANOVA (p < 0.001). The SBS values of ILC veneered groups were significantly higher than LDC groups, regardless of surface treatment and polymer type (p < 0.05). The highest SBS values were obtained for Sa-applied ILC veneered PEEK (21.55 ± 1.45 MPa) and PEKK (17.04 ± 1.99 MPa) polymer groups (p < 0.05).

Conclusion
The effect of surface treatment and veneering materials may be significant on the SBS values of PAEKs. Therefore, the application parameters of surface treatments should be more specified for the applied veneering material and polymer type.
Influence of cold atmospheric-pressure-plasma in combination with different pretreatment methods on the pull-off tensile load in two-piece abutment-crowns: an in-vitro study

Published: March 2023

Abstract
Background
In implant prosthetic dentistry, the adhesive connection of individualized ceramic crowns and prefabricated titanium bases leads to several benefits. However, the durability of the bonding could be a weak point and especially depends on sufficient surface pretreatment. Cold atmospheric-pressure plasma (CAP) is a pretreatment method that should improve the surface properties without physical damage. Thus, the purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of CAP treatment on pull-off tensile load in two-piece abutment crowns.

Methods
Eighty zirconia crowns and titanium bases were divided into eight groups (n = 10) according to their surface pretreatment prior to cementation with Panavia V5: no treatment (A); sandblasting (B); 10-MDP primer (C); sandblasting and primer (D); CAP (AP); sandblasting and CAP (BP); CAP and primer (CP); sandblasting, CAP and primer (DP). The specimens were thermocycled (5°/55°, 5000 cycles), and then the pull-off tensile load (TL) was measured. Statistical analyses were performed using three-way ANOVA with Tukey post-hoc and Fisher’s exact tests.

Results
The results showed that the TL was highest in group D (p < 0.0001). Some combinations of different treatments led to effects that were greater than the sum of the individual effects. These effects were modified by interactions. Only in combination with primer, CAP treatment had a small but positive significant effect (group CP vs. C and CP vs. AP, p < 0.0001) which however did not come close to the strong interaction effect that resulted from the combination of sandblasting and primer.

Conclusion
Within the limitations of this study, CAP treatment cannot be recommended in this specific field of indication due to its unreliable influence on TL in combination with other pretreatment methods.
