Published: August 2022

BackgroundPrevious prediction models of osteosarcoma have not focused on survival in patients undergoing surgery, nor have they distinguished and compared prognostic differences among amputation, radical and local resection. This study aimed to establish and validate the first reliable prognostic nomogram to accurately predict overall survival (OS) after surgical resection in patients with osteosarcoma. On this basis, we constructed a risk stratification system and a web-based nomogram.MethodsWe enrolled all patients with primary osteosarcoma who underwent surgery between 2004 and 2015 in the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database. In patients with primary osteosarcoma after surgical resection, univariate and multivariate cox proportional hazards regression analyses were utilized to identify independent prognostic factors and construct a novel nomogram for the 1-, 3-, and 5-year OS. Then the nomogram's predictive performance and clinical utility were evaluated by the concordance index (C-index), receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves, calibration curves, and decision curve analysis (DCA).ResultThis study recruited 1,396 patients in all, with 837 serving as the training set (60%) and 559 as the validation set (40%). After COX regression analysis, we identified seven independent prognostic factors to develop the nomogram, including age, primary site, histological type, disease stage, AJCC stage, tumor size, and surgical method. The C-index indicated that this nomogram is considerably more accurate than the AJCC stage in predicting OS [Training set (HR: 0.741, 95% CI: 0.726–0.755) vs. (HR: 0.632, 95% CI: 0.619–0.645); Validation set (HR: 0.735, 95% CI: 0.718–0.753) vs. (HR: 0.635, 95% CI: 0.619–0.652)]. Moreover, the area under ROC curves, the calibration curves, and DCA demonstrated that this nomogram was significantly superior to the AJCC stage, with better predictive performance and more net clinical benefits.ConclusionThis study highlighted that radical surgery was the first choice for patients with primary osteosarcoma since it provided the best survival prognosis. We have established and validated a novel nomogram that could objectively predict the overall survival of patients with primary osteosarcoma after surgical resection. Furthermore, a risk stratification system and a web-based nomogram could be applied in clinical practice to assist in therapeutic decision-making.

IntroductionVascular lesions in insular glioma surgery can severely impact patients&amp;apos; quality of life. This study aims to present the results of our dissections and authors’ reflections on the insular vascular anatomy.Matherials and MethodsThe insular vascularization was examined using ×3 to ×40 magnification in 20 cadaveric cerebral hemispheres in which the arteries and veins had been perfused with colored silicone.ResultsIn insular gliomas, this individualization of the anatomical structures is rarely possible, as the gyri are swollen by the tumor and lose their individuality. In the transsylvian approaches, the anatomical parameters for delimiting the insula in tumors are best provided by the superior and inferior circular sulci. The branches of the MCA are easily identified in the transcortical approach, but only at the end of the surgery after the tumor is resected.). One of the factors under-discussed in the literature is the involvement of the lenticulostriate arteries by the medial part of the tumor. In our experience of 52 patients (article submitted to publishing), LSTa were founded to be involved by the tumor in 13 cases. In 39 patients, there was no involvement of the LSTa, which allowed a more aggressive resection. Early preoperative identification of the anterior perforated substance on the MRI and its proximity to the tumor may help determine the route of the LSTa over the medial tumor boundaries.DiscussionOur reflections introduced our imaging and anatomical concept regarding LSTa in insular glioma surgery. Accurate identification of origin, route, and distribution of the LSTa is pivotal to surgical success, especially in the lateral group. The anatomical knowledge of their path directly impacts the extent of tumor resection and functional preservation.ConclusionKnowledge of microsurgical anatomy, brain mapping, and surgical experience counts a lot in this type of surgery, creating a reasonable procedure flowchart to be taken intraoperatively.

Objectives: To assess the effect of health check-ups on health among the elderly Chinese.Methods: The first dataset was panel data extracted from the 2011, 2014, and 2018 waves of the Chinese Longitudinal Health Longevity Survey (CLHLS). The second dataset was cross-sectional data come from CLHLS 2018 linked with the lagged term of health check-ups in CLHLS 2011. Health check-ups were measured by a binary variable annual health check-up (AHC). Health was assessed by a binary variable self-rated health (SRH). A coarsened exact matching method and individual fixed-effects models, as well as logistic regressions were employed.Results: AHC attendance among the elderly increased from 2011 to 2018, with higher utilization of AHC also detected in the rural group. AHC had positive effects on SRH among rural respondents (short-term effect: OR = 1.567, p &lt; 0.05; long-term effect: OR = 3.385, p &lt; 0.001).Conclusion: This study highlights a higher utilization of AHC in rural area, and the effectiveness of AHC in SRH improvement among rural participants. It indicates enhanced access to public healthcare services in rural area and underlying implications of health check-ups for reducing urban–rural health inequalities.

Abstract
Silicon heterojunction (SHJ) solar cells are usually considered to be a good choice for power plants owing to their high power-conversion efficiency. A recent work reports light soaking can activate boron doping in hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H), improving the efficiency of SHJ solar cells. Here we further show high light intensity can boost the dark conductivity of the phosphorus-doped a-Si:H and the boron-doped a-Si:H, this has significant implications, i.e., SHJ panels can generate more power than expected, especially for bifacial SHJ solar panels illuminated by intensive light soaking. In this regard, SHJ solar cells exhibit advantages in concentrator photovoltaic applications.

Authors: Wiryulisda Deny , Hendriati  
Published: August 2022

Introduction: Eyelid reconstruction after excision of carcinoma can be challenging due to the dynamic movement and anatomy of the eyelid. Flap and graft are choices of techniques to fill and repair broad eyelid defects. Significant lower eyelid defects can typically be closed using skin flaps and grafts to substantiate the posterior lamella. This study aims to describe three cases with lower eyelid reconstruction and evaluate the outcome of the surgery.
Case presentation: There are three cases of lower eyelid reconstruction reported in this study. In cases 1 and 2, the surgical procedures need graft for posterior lamellae reconstruction. In case 3, the reconstruction process only required a rotational flap. All patients are in good aesthetic and functional outcomes.
Conclusion: Combination of skin flap (transposition and rotational flap) and graft (oral mucosa and transconjunctival) and only rotational flap can achieve favorable functional and aesthetic outcomes in wide excision of carcinoma.

Revisiting the Lookahead Effect in Mbe Reduplication
Authors: Lin Kuo-Chiao 
Published: August 2022

Due to its inherent nature of gradualness, Serial Template Satisfaction (STS, McCarthy et al. 2012) does not predict the existence of derivational lookahead, which is admitted by Base-Reduplicant (BR) Correspondence Theory (McCarthy & Prince 1995). In this regard, Wei & Walker (2020) show that STS cannot tackle the lookahead pattern in Mbe reduplication, where the amount of material copied is predetermined by a subsequent phonological change. This paper, however, offers an STS solution to resolve the derivational lookahead problem in Mbe.
Dorsal harmony in Squliq Atayal: An Acoustic and Ultrasound Study
Authors: Lai Ching-Hung , Chiu Chenhao 
Published: August 2022

Dorsal harmony, understood as a process of changing from /*k/ into /q/ when followed by a uvular /q/ or a pharyngeal /ħ/, has been reported as a historical sound change in Atayal dialects, such as Squliq and Skikun. However, it is unattested if the observed dorsal harmony also occurs in those Atayal dialects as a synchronic morpho-phonological process. In the present study, we examined dorsal harmony in Squliq Atayal through ultrasonography and acoustic measurement (onset F3 – F2). Generalized additive mixed models (GAMMs), principal component analysis (PCA) and linear discriminant analysis (LDA) were applied to fit the tongue contours and compare the similarities of tongue images across different conditions. One participant showed that all variants of [k] were deviated from Baseline [k], and the linear discriminant (LD) values of all variants of [k] fell between Baseline [k] and [q]. The other participant exhibited consistent tongue postures in Short distance [k] and Cross-boundary [q]-[k]. The observed results suggest that dorsal harmony occurs in Squliq Atayal as a morpho-phonological process. Moreover, dorsal harmony is physiologically driven and best accounted for by coarticulatory aggressiveness, though with some individual variations. These variations nevertheless may support a coarticulatory path to sound change.
Technologies de contrôle : un enjeu organisationnel de lutte contre la fraude interne ?
Authors: Diard Caroline , Dufour Nicolas 
Published: August 2022

La fraude interne est un risque identifié par les organisations qui ont mis en place des services de contrôle interne afin de s’en protéger. Des services de contrôle interne ont vu le jour dans les organisations pour renforcer la prévention du risque de fraude interne qui est devenu un élément incontournable des risques à piloter dans les organisations. Le contrôle des collaborateurs peut s’exercer sous forme d’un contrôle organisationnel, technologique ou social. Des technologies de contrôle (vidéo-protection, géolocalisation, biométrie), en organisant la surveillance facilitent la mise en œuvre de la lutte contre la fraude interne. Plusieurs affaires emblématiques questionnent sur les mesures envisageables pour réduire le risque de fraude interne. Quels dispositifs une entreprise peut-elle mettre en place pour optimiser la détection des fraudes internes et dissuader les collaborateurs ? Parmi les formes envisageables de contrôle, quelle place occupe le contrôle technologique ? Nous formulons l’hypothèse que ces outils de contrôle technologique, intégrés dans le processus de contrôle interne, permettent une baisse effective des cas de fraudes internes. Une étude qualitative exploratoire auprès de 45 salariés conduite auprès d’une compagnie d’assurance vie confrontée à la fraude interne met en évidence la nécessité de renforcer les processus, d’organiser la prévention, d’utiliser les technologies licites et adaptées et de sanctionner.
Preoperative incremental shuttle walk test for morbidity and mortality prediction in elective major colorectal surgery
Authors: Soumya C N , Thomas Mary , Ravindran Subha , Jagathnath Krishna K M 
Published: August 2022

Background and Aims:
The incremental shuttle walk test (ISWT) is a simple reproducible and non-invasive test for assessing cardiopulmonary function. The maximum oxygen consumption is less than 10 ml/kg/min for ISWT distance of less than 250 m. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of ISWT in predicting morbidity and mortality in elective colorectal oncosurgery and to find the correlation of ISWT with the Duke Activity Status Index (DASI), Borg dyspnoea score, and peak oxygen uptake (VO2 max).

Methods:
This prospective study involved 46 patients aged more than 60 years with American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status I and II undergoing elective colorectal surgery under general anaesthesia with an epidural block. ISWT was conducted preoperatively and patients were monitored for 30 days postoperatively. For a comparative analysis, patients were divided into two groups: group 1– who could walk 250 m and group 2 – could not walk 250m. Categorical data were evaluated using the Chi-square test, while continuous data were evaluated using the Student’s t-test. The strength of correlation was determined using Pearson’s correlation coefficient.

Results:
Postoperative complications (P = 0.001) and lengthy stay in hospital and intensive care unit (P = 0.001) were experienced by all patients who were unable to complete the ISWT distance of 250 m. ISWT distance of 250 m corresponds to a DASI score of 10.5, which is equivalent to a calculated VO2 max of 14.1ml/kg/min.

Conclusion:
The ISWT with a cutoff distance of 250 m is a reliable predictor of postoperative morbidity in patients undergoing colorectal oncosurgery.

Published: August 2022

Introduction:
In spite of the efforts being directed at reducing the tobacco use among public, it remains a significant concern facing India today. In the quest of providing tobacco cessation counseling, documentation of the tobacco dependence of the individuals is quintessential. This study aims to assess the psychometric properties of the autonomy over smoking scale (AUTOS) among patients seeking oral health care at a teaching dental institution in southern India.

Materials and Methods:
The study sample constituted 199 subjects who satisfied the eligibility criteria of self-reported current smoking and were willing to participate in the study. Participants’ age, gender, and years of smoking were documented along with their nicotine dependence by administration of Fagerstrom test for nicotine dependence (FTND) and AUTOS by a trained interviewer. The dimensionality of AUTOS was verified by confirmatory factor analysis using the Classical and Bayesian Instrument Development software program. Correlation analysis between FTND and AUTOS subscale scores was performed along with multiple linear regression analyses to identify the predictors for AUTOS subscale scores.

Results:
The symptom type-wise subscales of AUTOS and the overall scale demonstrated good internal consistency reliability (Cronbach alpha ≥0.758). Significant positive correlation was observed between age, years of smoking, FTND score, and all the AUTOS subscale scores. Linear regression analyses showed that the number of years for which the subject had been smoking was a significant predictor of all the three AUTOS subscale scores.

Conclusion:
AUTOS was observed to be a very useful tool with good internal consistency reliability that measures tobacco dependence in consistence with FTND among South Indian population, and while doing so, it captures the various forms of tobacco dependence in an independent manner.
