Published: November 2022

IntroductionThe COVID-19 pandemic significantly changed society. We aimed to examine the systematic impact of the COVID-19 on injury burden in the United States.MethodsWe extracted mortality and morbidity data from CDC WONDER and WISQARS. We estimated age-standardized injury mortality rate ratio and morbidity rate ratio (MtRR and MbRR) with 95% confidence interval (95% CI) for all injuries, all unintentional injuries, homicide/assault by all methods, suicide/self-harm by all methods, as well as other 11 specific unintentional or intentional injury categories. Injury rate ratios were compared for 2020 vs. 2019 to those of 2019 vs. 2018 to demonstrate the influence of the COVID-19 pandemic on fatal and nonfatal injury burden. The ratio of MtRRs (RMtRR) and the ratio of MbRRs (RMbRR) with 95% CI between 2020 vs. 2019 and 2019 vs. 2018 were calculated separately.ResultsThe COVID-19 pandemic was associated with an increase in injury mortality (RMtRR = 1.12, 95% CI: 1.11, 1.13) but injury morbidity decreased (RMbRR = 0.88, 95% CI: 0.88, 0.89) when the changes of these rates from 2019 to 2020 were compared to those from 2018 to 2019. Mortality disparities between the two time periods were primarily driven by greater mortality during the COVID-influenced 2020 vs. 2019 from road traffic crashes (particularly motorcyclist mortality), drug poisoning, and homicide by firearm. Similar patterns were not present from 2019 vs. 2018. There were morbidity reductions from road traffic crashes (particularly occupant and pedestrian morbidity from motor vehicle crashes), unintentional falls, and self-harm by suffocation from 2019 to 2020 compared to the previous period. Change patterns in sexes and age groups were generally similar, but exceptions were observed for some injury types.ConclusionsThe COVID-19 pandemic significantly changed specific injury burden in the United States. Some discrepancies also existed across sex and age groups, meriting attention of injury researchers and policymakers to tailor injury prevention strategies to particular populations and the environmental contexts citizens face.

BackgroundChina is the only country in the world that has not included the Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) vaccine in its National Immunization Program, making it more difficult to eliminate Hib-related diseases through Hib vaccination. It is necessary to study parental preferences for Hib vaccination to optimize vaccine promotion strategies in China.ObjectiveThis study aimed to investigate Chinese parental preference for five attributes of Hib vaccination, i.e., the place of origin, effectiveness, adverse event, doctors' recommendation, and the price of full vaccination when making a decision to vaccinate their children under 2 years old.MethodsA cross-sectional survey was conducted in two cities in Zhejiang Province from November to December in 2020 using a discrete choice experiment (DCE). A mixed logit model was used to estimate participating parents' preference for Hib vaccination attributes included in the DCE. Subgroup analysis and probability analysis were also conducted to capture the heterogeneity and trade-off of parental preference for Hib vaccination.ResultsData from 6,168 observations were included in the analyses. Parents of children are, on average, more likely to voice a positive preference for Hib vaccination. Such attributes of Hib vaccination as effectiveness and doctor's recommendation have a significant positive influence on parents' preference for Hib vaccination, while imported vaccines, adverse events, and the price of full vaccination have a significant negative influence on parents' preference. Parents with different demographic characteristics also existed heterogeneities in preference for Hib vaccination. Parents will make a trade-off on price if the Hib vaccine has a good performance on effectiveness and safety.ConclusionThe study found that, regardless of the place of origin of the Hib vaccine, parents with children under 2 years old prefer to compromise on price if the vaccine has a better effectiveness and safety profile. A proactive recommendation from doctors would strengthen their willingness for Hib vaccination. These findings help aid the development of communication strategies with parents for Hib vaccination in China.

Published: November 2022

BackgroundChoriocarcinoma is a malignant tumour of trophoblastic origin. Most are gestational choriocarcinomas, which usually occur in women with an epithelial origin of the placental chorionic villi and are associated with pregnancy. It mainly originates in the gonads such as the ovaries and testes. However, it rarely occurs in the stomach and is known as primary choriocarcinoma (PGC).Case presentationA 69-year-old man complained of abdominal distention for 3 years, which worsened 1 week later. Gastroscopy showed chronic atrophic gastritis C1 (C1: indicates atrophic gastritis involving the sinus region); the pathology report of the gastroscopic specimen showed high-grade epithelial tumours in the mucosal glands. We diagnosed an occupying lesion in the stomach and performed a laparoscopically assisted distal gastrectomy and Billroth type 1 anastomosis. Postoperative pathology showed “gastric choriocarcinoma with cancerous tissue invading the entire gastric wall”. The patient was discharged on the 11th postoperative day as there were no postoperative complications. The patient was followed up until June 2022 with a good recovery and no recurrence.ConclusionWe encountered a case of Primary Gastric Choriocarcinoma, where the cancerous tissue invades the full thickness of the gastric wall.

AimThe aim of this study was to assess the risk factors for coexisting deep endometriosis (DE) in patients with recurrent ovarian endometrioma (OE).MethodsWe retrospectively reviewed 151 recurrent OE patients who had been diagnosed of OE but not DE at the time of their first surgery and then received a second surgery for recurrent endometriosis with or without DE. Their clinical characteristics at the time of the first and second surgeries were collected. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were conducted to identify potential risk factors for coexisting DE in patients with recurrent OE.ResultsAmong the 151 recurrent OE patients, 46 were diagnosed of DE during the recurrent surgery and included in the DE group, while the remaining 105 patients were included in the non-DE group. In univariate analysis, there were significant differences in terms of uterine retroversion during the primary surgery and the follow-up time after the primary surgery between the DE and non-DE groups. The multivariate analysis also showed that both uterine retroversion and the follow-up time (≥5 years) were associated with the coexistence of DE during the recurrent surgery. The odds ratio (OR) for uterine retroversion was 3.72 [95% confidence interval (CI) 1.62–8.53], and the OR for follow-up time (≥5 years) was 5.03 (95% CI 2.29–11.02).ConclusionsOur study suggested that for recurrent OE patients, uterine retroversion during the first surgery and a follow-up time of at least 5 years are risk factors for the coexistence of DE in recurrent surgery, early prevention and full preparation before the recurrent surgery should be emphasized in these conditions.

Urinary tract infection (UTI) occurs in 25% of recipients of living-donor kidney transplantation (LDKT). Female sex, age, and anatomical abnormalities have been reported as recipient-related risk factors for UTI after LDKT; few studies have reported donor-related factors. We retrospectively examined UTI occurrence within 5 years of transplantation in recipients (n = 211) who underwent LDKT at our hospital between April 2011 and April 2021. All nephrectomies were performed using a retroperitoneal pure laparoscopic approach. The ureter was dissected at the lower level of the common iliac artery and trimmed to the shortest length, enough to reach the bladder using extra vesicular ureterocystoneostomy with a 3 cm submucosal tunnel. Twenty-nine recipients (13.7%) developed UTI within 5 years, and the median time to onset was 40.0 days. After adjusting for the well-known factors, including recipient sex, graft ureter length was an independent factor for UTI occurrence (HR 1.25, 95% CI 1.02∼1.53, p = 0.028) in the multivariate Cox regression analysis. The long ureter is usually trimmed, and the widest part is used for anastomosis, which may increase the possibility of reflux from the bladder to the ureter in the standard technique. The ureter length may be associated with the incidence of UTI after LDKT.

Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is currently a contraindication to liver transplantation (LT) in the United Kingdom (UK). Incidental CCA occurs rarely in some patients undergoing LT. We report on retrospective outcomes of patients with incidental CCA from six UK LT centres. Cases were identified from pathology records. Data regarding tumour characteristics and post-transplant survival were collected. CCA was classified by TNM staging and anatomical location. 95 patients who underwent LT between 1988–2020 were identified. Median follow-up after LT was 2.1 years (14 days-18.6 years). Most patients were male (68.4%), median age at LT was 53 (IQR 46-62), and the majority had underlying PSC (61%). Overall median survival after LT was 4.4 years. Survival differed by tumour site: 1-, 3-, and 5-year estimated survival was 82.1%, 68.7%, and 57.1%, respectively, in intrahepatic CCA (n = 40) and 58.5%, 42.6%, and 30.2% in perihilar CCA (n = 42; p = 0.06). 1-, 3-, and 5-year estimated survival was 95.8%, 86.5%, and 80.6%, respectively, in pT1 tumours (28.2% of cohort), and 65.8%, 44.7%, and 31.1%, respectively, in pT2-4 (p = 0.018). Survival after LT for recipients with incidental CCA is inferior compared to usual outcomes for LT in the United Kingdom. LT for earlier stage CCA has similar survival to LT for hepatocellular cancer, and intrahepatic CCAs have better survival compared to perihilar CCAs. These observations may support LT for CCA in selected cases.

The in vivo germination course (15, 30, 45, and 60 days) of nine threatened local endemic plants of Crete (Greece) was studied due to conservation concerns and commercial interest in economic sectors. We used seeds directly collected from the wild sown in peat (Terrahum):perlite (1:1 v/v ratio)covered with coarse-grained vermiculite in a greenhouse mist bench with a substrate temperature of 19 ± 2 °C. The onset of in vivo germination was defined by the visible radicle protrusion (6th–9th day from sowing). After 60 days, 100% germination was observed for seeds of Campanula cretica, Dianthus fruticosus subsp. creticus, and Petromarula pinnata, followed by Draba cretica (91%) and Sanguisorba cretica (86%). Average–low germination capacity was observed for seeds of Calamintha cretica (26%), Lomelosia minoana subsp. minoana (38%), and Origanum microphyllum (23%), and very low capacity was observed for Onopordum bracteatum subsp. creticum (1.5%). After keeping seeds at 4–5 °C for three months, pre-treatments were performed (immersion in 50 or 250 ppm of gibberellic acid solution for 24 h) on three taxa with low germination capacity, thus resulting to the germination acceleration of Calamintha cretica seeds and increased germination capacity of Onopordum bracteatum subsp. creticum seeds. Apart from the facilitation of future species-specific conservation actions, the study showcases that the obtained results herein may permit an upgrade in the feasibility and readiness timescale assessments for the sustainable exploitation of studied taxa in different economic sectors.

Several industrial fields require mixing and mechanical agitation processes. This operation is mainly used to enhance heat and mass transfer inside stirred tank systems and improve the degree of homogeneity to obtain a high-quality final product. The main goal of this research paper is to analyze the thermal and hydrodynamic behavior of non-Newtonian nanofluid (Bingham–Papanastasiou–Al2O3) inside a symmetrically stirred tank. A 3D numerical study has been conducted for a stationary laminar flow inside a symmetric cylindrical vessel under influencing parameters, including the inertia parameter (Re=1, 20, 100) and the volume fraction of nanoparticles (Ø=0.02, 0.06, 0.1) with different geometric configurations, has been introduced into the stirring system. According to the findings, with high inertia (Re=100), the heat transfer inside the stirred tank is enhanced. Furthermore, increasing the nanoparticle fraction volume had a significant impact on the acceleration of heat transfer along the stirred vessel. It has been also found that the geometric configuration of an anchor with added arm blade (Case 2) is more efficient compared with the rest of the anchor agitator.
