Authors: Falola Reuben A. , Rodriguez-Unda Nelson A. , Probe Robert A. , Papaconstantinou Harry T. , Saint-Cyr Michel H. , Altman Andrew M. 
Published: February 2022

Abstract
Background Closed-loop communication is essential for managing a diverse surgical team. When new or unfamiliar members are present, as is common in shift-based perioperative care, challenges to effective communication can arise.
Methods We introduced the Surgical Flight Plan (SFP), a novel communication tool that informs surgical team members on procedural details in advance of surgery, at our tertiary academic center. The tool was made available in the electronic health record prior to surgery. The primary outcome assessed after application of the SFP was “patient-in-room to incision time.” The secondary outcome was “improvement of communication in surgical teams” as assessed by a standardized (10-item) preintervention survey and a follow-up postintervention survey, given 3 months later. Data were gathered using Redcap software and statistical analysis was performed using SAS 9.4, significance was set at p-value less than 0.05
Results Thirty-six first-start, operative plastic surgery cases were included for the analysis (20 pre- and 16 postintervention). The average time from patient-in-room to surgical time out were 59.15 and 48.69 minutes pre-/postintervention respectively (p < .0437). Sixty-one members of the surgical team responded to the survey, with the majority citing improved team communication.
Conclusion The SFP significantly improved first case on-time starts (FCOTS) and may improve surgical team communication, efficiency, safety, and overall patient care. Expanding the use of the instrument into other surgical specialties is needed to further validate its efficacy.

Authors: Challoumas Dimitris , Murray Elspeth , Ng Nigel , Putti Amit , Millar Neal 
Published: February 2022

Abstract
Background There is a myriad of available surgical options for thumb carpometacarpal joint (CMCJ) arthritis and no robust evidence exists to guide the decisions of treating surgeons. Our aim was to assess the comparative effectiveness of different surgical interventions available for the treatment of thumb CMCJ arthritis.
Methods We performed a systematic review, pairwise, and network meta-analysis of all randomized studies comparing surgical interventions for thumb CMCJ arthritis. Our primary outcomes were pain, function, and key pinch strength at long-term follow-up (> 6 months). Risk of bias and certainty of evidence were assessed for each outcome measure of compared interventions separately. Clinical recommendations were based on evidence of strong or moderate certainty.
Results A total of 17 randomized studies were included in the systematic review. Where possible, pairwise and network meta-analyses were performed. Based on evidence of moderate certainty, trapeziectomy with a concomitant ligament reconstruction and tendon interposition (LRTI) does not appear to be associated with any long-term clinical benefits compared with simple trapeziectomy (function: mean difference [MD] –3.72 [–9.15, 1.71], p = 0.64 favoring simple trapeziectomy; key pinch strength: MD 0.07 kg [–0.28, 0.43], p = 0.68 favoring trapeziectomy with LRTI). Treatment rankings from the network meta-analysis favored trapeziectomy with and without LRTI, joint replacement, and arthrodesis. Trapeziectomy with LRTI appears to be associated with fewer major complications compared with joint replacement and arthrodesis, and more minor complications compared with simple trapeziectomy.
Conclusion Until further high-quality research indicates otherwise, simple trapeziectomy should be the preferred surgical modality for base of the thumb arthritis.
Level of Evidence This is a Level 1 study.
Outcomes following Distal Radioulnar Joint Arthroplasty in the Setting of Total or Partial Wrist Fusion
Authors: Amundsen Asgeir , Rizzo Marco , Berger Richard , Frihagen Frede , Moran Steven L. 
Published: February 2022

Abstract
Purpose To evaluate the functional outcome and complications following primary ulnar head or total distal radial ulnar joint (DRUJ) arthroplasty in patients who have a partial or total wrist fusion.
Methods We conducted a retrospective review of 33 primary DRUJ implants in 31 patients who had a partial or total wrist fusion. Follow-up time averaged 67 months. There were 11 partial and 22 total wrist fusions with 22 ulnar head prosthesis and 11 total DRUJ implants. The mean age of the patients was 49 years. Eighty-one percent had previous surgeries with an average number of 4.6 previous wrist procedures. Pre- and postoperative pain levels were recorded. Mayo Wrist Scores were calculated. Grip strength, range of motion (ROM), and post-operative complications were noted.
Results The pain scores improved in 67% of the patients. The Mayo Wrist Score improved significantly from a mean of 39 preoperatively to 51 postoperatively. The grip strength and pro-supination remained stable. The wrist ROM also remained stable in the patients with partial wrist fusions. During the follow-up period, 10 (30%) of the DRUJ implants were explanted, with a trend toward higher explantation rates in total wrist fusions with one in the partial fusion group and nine in the total wrist fusion group. Four of the explantations happened in the first postoperative year. Nineteen (61%) of the patients required a second surgery for a DRUJ implant-related complication; this rate was similar between the partial and total fusion groups.
Conclusions DRUJ replacement resulted in improved pain scores and Mayo wrist scores in the majority of patients; however, the combination of primary DRUJ arthroplasty and total wrist fusion was associated with high complication rates. Surgeons should be aware of the high complication rate seen with DRUJ arthroplasty when combined with total wrist fusion.
Prevalence and Factors Associated with Patient-Requested Corrections to the Medical Record through Use of a Patient Portal: Findings from a National Survey
Authors: Nguyen Oliver T. , Hong Young-Rock , Alishahi Tabriz Amir , Hanna Karim , Turner Kea 
Published: February 2022

Abstract
Background Providing patients with medical records access is one strategy that health systems can utilize to reduce medical errors. However, how often patients request corrections to their records on a national scale is unknown.
Objectives We aimed to develop population-level estimates of patients who request corrections to their medical records using national-level data. We also identified patient-level correlates of requesting corrections.
Methods We used the 2017 and 2019 Health Information National Trends Survey and examined all patient portal adopters. We applied jackknife replicate weights to develop population-representative estimates of the prevalence of requesting medical record corrections. We conducted a multivariable logistic regression analysis to identify correlates of requesting corrections while controlling for demographic factors, health care utilization patterns, health status, technology/internet use patterns, and year.
Results Across 1,657 respondents, 125 (weighted estimate: 6.5%) reported requesting corrections to their medical records. In unadjusted models, greater odds of requesting corrections were observed among patients who reported their race/ethnicity as non-Hispanic black (odds ratio [OR]: 2.20, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.10–4.43), had frequent portal visits (OR: 3.92, 95% CI: 1.51–10.23), and had entered data into the portal (OR: 7.51, 95% CI: 4.08–13.81). In adjusted models, we found greater odds of requesting corrections among those who reported frequent portal visits (OR: 3.39, 95% CI: 1.24–9.33) and those who reported entering data into the portal (OR: 6.43, 95% CI: 3.20–12.94). No other significant differences were observed.
Conclusion Prior to the Information Blocking Final Rule in April 2021, approximately 6.5% of patients requested corrections of errors in their medical records at the national level. Those who reported higher engagement with their health, as proxied by portal visit frequency and entering data into the portal, were more likely to request corrections.

Published: February 2022

Significance
The current study investigates fundamentals of electrochemical reactions using the membrane-free redox flow battery (RFB) platform with a laminar strategy and colorimetry of multiredox organic molecules. Taking advantage of unique color changes of electrolytes depending on the state of charge, we analyze the electrochemical kinetics of the RFB system in terms of charge and mass transfer. It is verified that a balanced rate of charge and mass transfer significantly affects the battery performance. Furthermore, a classical physicochemical hydrodynamic equation is adopted for scaling analysis of the depletion region deteriorating battery performance. We successfully integrate analytical, numerical, and experimental data for elucidating the depletion region. Based on these fundamental studies, finally, a favorable design is suggested for performance enhancement.
A bisentential syntax for a/bare finite complements in South Italian varieties
Authors: Manzini Maria Rita , Lorusso Paolo 
Published: February 2022

Abstract
In South Italian varieties of Apulia, Calabria and Sicily a restricted number of control/raising verbs, including stay/be, go, come and want embed finite complements, either bare or introduced by a. These are not necessarily languages with so-called subjunctive particles; in any event, the latter have a different form. Under monoclausal analyses, verbs like stay/be, go etc. are functional heads embedding an inflected predicate. Here we adopt a biclausal analysis under which embedding under stay/be, go etc. is a normal clausal embedding. We argue that the biclausal analysis is not only feasible, but also advantageous, from a morphosyntactic point of view. Focusing on the progressive, we also consider whether the bisentential analysis is compatible with semantic interpretation and how it fares in a typological perspective.
Preterite indicative Pseudo-Coordination and morphomic patterns
Authors: Di Caro Vincenzo Nicolò 
Published: February 2022

Abstract
This paper discusses the paradigmatic configuration (or ‘morphome’; Aronoff 1994) that Pseudo-Coordination (V1[TAM.Agr] a V2[TAM.Agr], as in Jivu a ffici la spisa. ‘I went and did the shopping.’) displays in the preterite indicative in Deliano: i.e. the ‘W-Pattern’ (Di Caro 2019a; Di Caro and Giusti 2018). In the first part, the suppletive nature of the preterite paradigm of the V2s licensing this construction is discussed. These V2s all feature perfective roots (i.e. PYTA roots; Maiden 2018b), such as fici ‘I made/did’ and dissi ‘I said’, which are the ones allowed in the construction, and imperfective roots, such as facisti ‘you (sg.) made/did’ and dicisti ‘you (sg.) said’. In the second part, new data from a grammaticality judgment-based study on Pseudo-Coordination in Deliano are discussed, with reference to the emergence of the W-Pattern in a specific paradigm. The results clearly show that this morphome is consistently present throughout the sample (11–80 y.o. participants, N = 140) and has a “psychological reality” (cf. Maiden 2018b: 1–10), in the sense that it does not seem to be affected by variables such as age or gender, or to be subject to ordering effects.
Pseudo-coordination of the verb jít (‘go’) in contemporary Czech
Authors: Škodová Svatava 
Published: February 2022

Abstract
This chapter investigates the use of the verb jít (‘go’) in two construction types in the Czech language; they have in common a binary coordinative structure where the verb jít is coordinated with any other verb with the coordinator a (‘and’). These constructions are prototypical coordination (ProCo) and pseudo-coordination (PseCo). The main claim is that even though these two types share the same surface structure jít-a-V2, they represent distinct phenomena.
The resolution criteria are based on a two-part analysis. First, PseCo is analysed as a complex predicate. This analysis immediately accounts for a number of properties of PseCo compared to ProCo. Second, the formal features of the construction are linked to its semantic structure: PseCo expresses aktionsart via coordination over sub-stages of events.
I argue that ProCo is a biclausal structure coordinating two separate events, while PseCo coordinates two verbs into one complex predicate and the coordinator a (‘and’) serves for a coordination of sub-stages of this combined event. It appears that the first verb expresses the preparatory phase for the activity denoted by the second verb. The pseudo-coordinative verb in the first conjunct lexicalises a manner component in the internal event structure. The verb ‘go’ is desemanticized and instead of the meaning of physical motion expresses dynamic aspects of the second event.
This research is based on 1611 examples from the Czech National Corpus, subcorpus SYN2005, from which 923 examples are analysed as ProCo and 668 as PseCo.
Pseudocoordination and Serial Verb Constructions as Multi-Verb Predicates
Authors: Ross Daniel 
Published: February 2022

Abstract
Verbal pseudocoordination (as in English go and get) is often seen as an idiosyncratic phenomenon described in exceptional terms. This paper establishes the typological context to explain key properties of pseudocoordination, integrated into a more general typology of multi-verb constructions. At the same time, principled motivations are given for the arbitrary list of traditional properties attributed to Serial Verb Constructions (SVCs). The broader category of Multi-Verb Predicates (MVPs) is proposed as any monoclausal multi-verb construction with two verbs forming a complex predicate. Subtypes of MVPs are distinguished by their form: pseudocoordination with a linker ‘and’, while SVCs have no linker. Structural properties of MVPs, such as shared inflectional features on each verb, are readily explained as due to monoclausality.
On the adverbial origin of German modal particles
Authors: Coniglio Marco 
Published: February 2022

Abstract
All German modal particles share important common properties. However, in a diachronic perspective, their
origin has often been explained by assuming that they have grammaticalized from different types of lexemes belonging
to several word classes: adjectives, adverbs, conjunctions, etc. The present paper intends to dissipate some erroneous
assumptions about the grammaticalization paths of modal particles and to offer a novel syntactic approach that
explains their origin and development. By following and elaborating on some recent ideas, I will explore the
hypothesis that modal particles have an adverbial origin and will provide corresponding evidence. In the syntactic
analysis, I will claim that all modal particles originate from specific types of (strong) lower adverb(ial)s that
become weak sentential adverbs under reanalysis.
Outer particles vs tag particles
Authors: Ituarte Aitor Lizardi 
Published: February 2022

Abstract
This article aims to draw a syntactic analysis that accounts for the differing properties of two sets of
discourse particles: Outer (or Final) Particles (OutPs) and Tag Particles (TagPs). In recent years, researchers have
built a syntactic model to accommodate OutPs (Haegeman 2014; Wiltschko & Heim 2016; a.o.), but TagPs have received little attention. In
order to highlight the different nature of these two sets of particles, I will focus on two segmentally homophonous
Basque particles: alaOutP
and alaTag
. After discussing
their distinct prosodic, syntactic and pragmatic properties, I will argue that these particles show structural
differences: while OutPs merge in the right periphery of the clause, TagPs are intransitive X0s and head
their own Speech Act Phrase (SAP).
Anchoring primary and secondary interjections to the context
Authors: Munaro Nicola 
Published: February 2022

Abstract
On the basis of empirical evidence from various Italian dialects, I argue that primary and secondary
interjections lexicalize different functional heads which are computed syntactically at the edge of the clause.
Secondary interjections should be clearly distinguished from primary ones; only secondary interjections lexicalizing a
SpeechAct° head represent autonomous speech acts and are prosodically and syntactically independent from the
co-occurring clause, which they can attract to their specifier position, raising eventually to the adjacent head
Speaker° in order to achieve the necessary spatio-temporal contextual anchoring. Primary interjections, which can
co-occur with secondary ones and surface clause-initially, lexicalize arguably the highest functional head Speaker°,
interacting in interesting ways with lower projections and with the overt realization of the complementizer in
Force.
Meaning and use of the Basque particle bide
Authors: Korta Kepa , Zubeldia Larraitz 
Published: February 2022

Abstract
In this work we study the meaning and use of the Basque particle bide. We contend that,
uttering a bide-sentence, the speaker asserts the proposition she would assert had she uttered a
sentence without bide, but conveys additional evidential and doxastic information. She conveys that
the evidence for the belief she expresses is indirect and that she is not absolutely certain on its truth–although it
seems that the latter is sometimes cancellable. To put it in speech-act theoretic terms, bide is an
illocutionary force indicator with no contribution to the propositional content of the speech act, which imposes to
the assertion a certain preparatory condition and, perhaps, a constraint on the degree of strength of the belief
expressed.
The extravagant dutch suffix -ke and its meandering through the interfaces
Authors: De Belder Marijke 
Published: February 2022

Abstract
The substandard Dutch diminutive suffix -ke occurs in words of four different categories: nouns, predicatively used adjectives, adverbs, and interjections. In nouns, adjectives, and adverbs, the suffix may trigger an epenthetic consonant, which is not available for the interjections. This seems to go hand in hand with a syntactic distinction: for the interjections the suffix is not to be analysed as a diminutive, but as an honorific. I argue that in all contexts, the suffix realises scalar features, but of different natures. The phonological contrasts follow from the extravagant meandering through the syntax-phonology interface.
Linguistic extravagance in compounds and idioms – an analysis of morphological marking
Authors: Bauke Leah S. 
Published: February 2022

Abstract
This paper investigates the role of morphological marking as the driving factor for linguistic extravagance in idioms and compounds in German and English. It argues that formal structural properties of morphological marking alone can account for compounds that are regular, i.e., compositional, productive and recursive, as well as for those that are non-compositional, non-productive and non-recursive and in that sense irregular or extravagant. Furthermore, the paper shows how the formal analysis for compounds can be extended to idioms in German and English, which are similar to compounds in the sense that they display categorial unfaithfulness and non-compositional form-meaning correspondence and yet are different from compounds in that they contain additional functional structure to the structure that can be identified in compounds. The paper draws on the exoskeletal model of Borer (2005a, b, 2013) for the analysis of compounds and idioms, which – unlike other approaches to morphological marking – can account for extravagant as well as expected aspects of these forms strictly in terms of the formal grammatical properties.
Extravagant expressions denoting quite normal entities
Authors: Frankowsky Maximilian 
Published: February 2022

Abstract
Identical constituent compounds (ICCs) are a prototypical example of extravagant morphology. They violate several constraints and rules of German word formation. Speakers use these violations systematically to highlight specific semantic characteristics of the base noun. Mädchenmädchen ‘girl girl’, for instance, refers to a stereotypical girl. So far, the formal features and the usage of these formations have not been described empirically. This study is based on large corpus data to make reliable predictions about features like linking elements, inflectional behaviour, and the spelling of German ICCs. Furthermore, it investigates which strategies speakers use to make sure that the hearer understands what (in most cases) constitutes a newly formed word.
A comparative validation of biodosimetry and physical dosimetry techniques for possible triage applications in emergency dosimetry
Authors: Sholom Sergey , McKeever Stephen W S , Escalona Maria B , Ryan Terri L , Balajee Adayabalam S 
Published: February 2022

Abstract
Large-scale radiological accidents or nuclear terrorist incidents involving radiological or nuclear materials can potentially expose thousands, or hundreds of thousands, of people to unknown radiation doses, requiring prompt dose reconstruction for appropriate triage. Two types of dosimetry methods namely, biodosimetry and physical dosimetry are currently utilized for estimating absorbed radiation dose in humans. Both methods have been tested separately in several inter-laboratory comparison exercises, but a direct comparison of physical dosimetry with biological dosimetry has not been performed to evaluate their dose prediction accuracies. The current work describes the results of the direct comparison of absorbed doses estimated by physical (smartphone components) and biodosimetry (dicentric chromosome assay (DCA) performed in human peripheral blood lymphocytes) methods. For comparison, human peripheral blood samples (biodosimetry) and different components of smartphones, namely surface mount resistors (SMRs), inductors and protective glasses (physical dosimetry) were exposed to different doses of photons (0–4.4 Gy; values refer to dose to blood after correction) and the absorbed radiation doses were reconstructed by biodosimetry (DCA) and physical dosimetry (optically stimulated luminescence (OSL)) methods. Additionally, LiF:Mg,Ti (TLD-100) chips and Al2O3:C (Luxel) films were used as reference TL and OSL dosimeters, respectively. The best coincidence between biodosimetry and physical dosimetry was observed for samples of blood and SMRs exposed to γ-rays. Significant differences were observed in the reconstructed doses by the two dosimetry methods for samples exposed to x-ray photons with energy below 100 keV. The discrepancy is probably due to the energy dependence of mass energy-absorption coefficients of the samples extracted from the phones. Our results of comparative validation of the radiation doses reconstructed by luminescence dosimetry from smartphone components with biodosimetry using DCA from human blood suggest the potential use of smartphone components as an effective emergency triage tool for high photon energies.
A fast and accurate way of evaluating the Widlar current using the Newton–Raphson method
Authors: Mohamed Ahmed Obaid 
Published: February 2022

Abstract
The Widlar current source is one of the basic current sources that undergraduate students encounter throughout their learning process on electronics courses. The Widlar current is actually given in terms of a transcendental equation. Although an analytical solution exists in terms of the Lambert W function it might not be that useful for students during exams or other practical applications. This paper presents a fast and accurate way to solve the problem numerically using the Newton–Raphson method with a regular scientific calculator, and compares the results with the analytical solution given by the Lambert W function.
