Published: June 2022

AbstractWater use efficiency (WUE) is a key physiological trait in studying plant carbon and water relations. However, the determinants of WUE across a large geographical scale are not always clear, limiting our capacity to predict WUE in response to future global climate change. We propose that tree WUE is influenced by calcium (Ca) availability and precipitation. In addition, although it is well-known that transpiration is the major driving force for passive nutrient uptake, the linkage between these two processes has not been well-established. Because Ca uptake is an apoplastic and passive process that purely relies on transpiration, and there is no translocation once assimilated, we further developed a theoretical model to quantify the relationship between tree Ca accumulation and WUE using soil-to-plant calcium ratio (SCa/BCa) and tree WUE derived from δ13C. We tested our theoretical model and predicted relationships using three common tree species across their native habitats in Northern China, spanning 2300 km and a controlled greenhouse experiment with soil Ca concentrations manipulated. We found that tree WUE was negatively related to precipitation of the growing season (GSP) and positively with soil Ca. A multiple regression model and a path analysis suggested a higher contribution of soil Ca to WUE than GSP. As predicted by our theoretical model, we found a positive relationship between WUE and SCa/BCa across their distribution ranges in all three tree species and in the controlled experiment for one selected species. This relationship suggests a tight coupling between water and Ca uptake and the potential use of SCa/BCa to indicate WUE. A negative relationship between SCa/BCa and GSP also suggests a possible decrease in tree Ca accumulation efficiency in a drier future in Northern China.

Abstract
This chapter addresses books published in the field of visual culture in 2021 and is divided into four sections: 1. Edges of Europe; 2. Rethinking Art; 3. Art and the Anthropocene; and 4. Conclusion. The books under review cover a range of subjects within their specialities and reflect general trends in contemporary writing and study in the field of visual culture. The first section looks at publications concerning art at the edge of Europe: Marsha Morton and Barbara Larson’s edited volume Constructing Race on the Borders of Europe: Ethnography, Anthropology, and Visual Culture, 1850–1930 and Kerry Greaves’s collection Modern Women Artists in the Nordic Countries, 1900–1960. The second section reviews books that ask that we re-examine how we think about art, especially its political element: Jason Miller’s The Politics of Perception and the Aesthetics of Social Change and Sharon Irish’s Concerning Stephen Willats and the Social Function of Art. The third section examines publications about what it means to create art in the age of the Anthropocene: Susan Ballard’s Art and Nature in the Anthropocene, Gry Hedin and Ann-Sofie N. Gremaud’s Artistic Visions of the Anthropocene North: Climate Change and Nature in Art, and Jessica Morgan and Dorothea von Hantelmann’s Resource Hungry: Our Cultured Landscape and its Ecological Impact.

Microdose Induction of Buprenorphine in a Patient Using Tianeptine
Authors: Szczesniak Laura , Sullivan Ross 
Published: June 2022

Background
Opioids and opioid alternatives are a serious threat to public health in the United States and other countries. Patients are looking to the internet increasingly as a source of opioid alternatives to self-treat addiction or other psychiatric conditions. It is imperative that patients receive proper treatment to prevent morbidity and mortality related to opioid use disorder.

Case Summary
We report a case of a middle-aged male with a 3-year history of tianeptine use who presented to an outpatient clinic looking for addiction treatment options after failed attempts at tapering his daily dosage of approximately 10 grams per day. The patient underwent a microdose induction of sublingual buprenorphine over a 7-day period (0.25–12 mg) while continuing tianeptine use, and self-monitored for withdrawal symptoms daily using the Clinical Opiate Withdrawal Scale. The patient was seen over the course of treatment by a board-certified toxicologist and addiction specialist on day 2, 5, 6, and 14 to ensure patient safety and treatment adherence. After 14 days of treatment, the patient was able to stop tianeptine use without any major symptoms of withdrawal, anxiety, or depression.

Discussion
This case report highlights the effectiveness of buprenorphine in the treatment of opioid use disorder in a patient using tianeptine and further exemplifies the utility of buprenorphine in an outpatient setting.

Authors: Nixon Devon C. , Mardam-Bey Sami , Miller Mark L. , Dobbs Matthew B. , Schoenecker Perry L. , Luhmann Scott J. , Gordon J. Eric 
Published: June 2022

Objectives:
To examine the effectiveness and complication rates in age- and size-appropriate patients with either stable or unstable fracture patterns treated with elastic stable intramedullary nailing (ESIN).

Design:
Retrospective case series.

Setting:
Academic tertiary care children's hospital.

Patients/Participants:
This was a consecutive series of 106 preadolescent children with femoral shaft fractures. The mean age of the patients was 8.0 years (range, 4.0–16.0 years).

Intervention:
All children were treated by retrograde ESIN.

Main Outcome Measures:
Fractures were categorized as either length stable or unstable. Length stability and complications were assessed. A subset of patients with final full-length, standing x-rays was also evaluated.

Results:
We analyzed 63 stable and 43 length unstable fractures. The mean age and weight of the patients with stable and unstable fractures were similar. There was no difference in complication rates between groups (χ2(1) = 0.00, P = 0.99). There was no difference (t(96.93) = 0.53, P = 0.59) in femoral shaft length change. Leg length discrepancies as assessed by full-length standing radiographs at follow-up were similar (χ2(2) = 1.52, P = 0.47).

Conclusions:
Preadolescent children younger than 10 years do not experience increased complications after ESIN of length unstable femur fractures [odds ratio (OR) = 1.68 (0.18–16.87), P = 0.65]. Length unstable femur fractures are not at increased risk of more complications [OR = 0.90 (0.26–2.92), P = 0.87], early femoral shortening [OR = (0.42–2.02), P = 0.85], or leg length discrepancy [OR = (0.13–1.56), P = 0.21] when treated with ESIN.

Level of Evidence:
Prognostic Level III. See Instructions for Authors for complete description of levels of evidence.

Published: June 2022

Objective
To report the personalized decision-making pro- cess adopted for a cochlear implant (CI) candidate requiring magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) brain surveillance.

Study Design
Clinical capsule report.

Setting
Tertiary academic referral center.

Patient
A 23-year-old man affected by posttraumatic bilat- eral profound hearing loss, already in radiological follow-up for a suspected small left cuneal low-grade glioma.

Interventions
A multidisciplinary approach involving preoperative MRI simulations and 3D printed (3DP) models aiming to adapt the CI position to facilitate MRI brain lesion visibility.

Main Outcome Measures
MRI visibility and surgical approach.

Results
Preoperative MRI scans with the placement of an Ultra 3D CI were performed simulating different implant location to assess the brain lesion visibility in MRI. CI was positioned 9 cm away from the external auditory canal with an angle of 90 degrees. To assess the technical feasibility of the surgical procedure, a patient-specific 3DP head model was produced preoperatively. The postoperative course was uneventful, the patient showed a significant benefit from CI, and the brain lesion was highly visible at the MRI follow-up.

Conclusions
The employment of strategies aimed at improving the MRI quality in CI recipients still represents a topic requiring attention. Thanks to multidisciplinary team collaboration, in our case, the CI position was successfully determined to allow unhindered MRI visibility of a specific intracranial structure.

Authors: Ngwanou Dany Hermann , Couchonnal Eduardo , Parant François , Belmalih Abdelouahed , Guillaud Olivier , Dumortier Jérôme , Bost Muriel , Lachaux Alain 
Published: June 2022

Objectives:
Determining 24-hour urinary copper excretion (UCE) levels is useful for diagnosing Wilson’s disease (WD) and for treatment monitoring. Exchangeable copper (ExC) is a novel potential marker, but its long-term changes have never been described in patients under chelation therapy. Our aim was to describe the long-term changes in ExC levels compared to UCE levels in symptomatic WD pediatric patients under chelation therapy.

Methods:
A retrospective, descriptive, and analytical study including all patients under 18 years of age, diagnosed between 2006 and 2020, and treated with chelation therapy was conducted at the National Reference Center for WD in Lyon. Ceruloplasmin levels, serum copper, 24 h-UCE, ExC, and liver enzymes at diagnosis and during follow-up were analyzed.

Results:
Our study included 36 patients, predominantly with hepatic form of WD (n = 31). The median [interquartile range (IQR)] age at diagnosis was 10.5 (8.4–13.1) years, and the median (IQR) follow-up duration was 6.3 (3.3–8.8) years. At diagnosis, the median (IQR) ExC value was 1.01 (0.60–1.52) µmol/L. There was a significant decrease during the first year of chelation treatment (P = 0.0008), then a stabilization. The median (IQR) ExC values was 0.38 (0.22–0.63) µmol/L at 12–18 months and 0.43 (0.31–0.54) µmol/L at 5 years of chelation treatment (P = 0.4057). Similarly, there was a significant decrease in 24-hour UCE (P < 0.001) during the first year of chelation treatment, then a stabilization.

Conclusions:
Our study showed a significant decrease in ExC and 24-hour UCE levels during the first year of follow-up; The dynamics of both biomarkers were similar along the follow-up, demonstrating their usefulness in clinical practice for monitoring WD.

Published: June 2022

Abstract
The American Board of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation began administering the longitudinal assessment for physical medicine and rehabilitation for continuing certification in 2020. The longitudinal assessment for physical medicine and rehabilitation digitally delivers quarterly short assessments of content and repeats missed items to facilitate learning as well as serve as a summative certification assessment. With a goal of offering content relevant to an individual’s practice and learning needs, diplomates choose how to customize the domains or topic areas of their question content on an annual basis. This report describes the first year of experience with customization of longitudinal assessment for physical medicine and rehabilitation. The American Board of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation diplomate customization data are grouped and compared in a variety of ways to ascertain whether there are differences in customization choices. While customization choices were similar across several domains, significant differences were seen when comparing groups with specific areas of practice or subspecialty certification. Smaller differences were also seen when comparing question domain allocation choice between sexes, age groups, and practice setting. The results from this first full year of experience confirm an alignment of this innovative assessment approach to individual physician practice, a significant step in improving the relevance of continuing certification overall for participating physicians.
Recipient and Center Factors Associated With Immunosuppression Practice Beyond the First Year After Liver Transplantation and Impact on Outcomes
Authors: Bittermann Therese , Lewis James D. , Goldberg David S. 
Published: June 2022

Background.
Immunosuppression is a critical aspect of post-transplant management, yet practices at intermediate and late time points after liver transplantation (LT) are poorly characterized.

Methods.
A retrospective cohort of 11 326 adult first LT alone recipients between 2007 and 2016 was identified by linking United Network for Organ Sharing transplant data to Medicare administrative claims. The immunosuppression regimen was obtained from Medicare billing claims. Factors associated with calcineurin inhibitor (CNI) monotherapy at 1-, 3-, and 5-y post-LT were investigated using mixed-effects logistic regression. Center practice heterogeneity was evaluated. The association of immunosuppression regimen (time-updating) with patient and graft survival was studied.

Results.
CNI monotherapy was used in 51.9% at 1-y post-LT and 68.6% at 5-y post-LT. Center-specific rates ranged from 20.0%–79.9% to 15.4%–95.2%, respectively. CNI monotherapy at 1- and 3-y post-LT was less likely among Black recipients (P = 0.027 and P = 0.015 versus White, respectively). CNI plus antimetabolite was associated with improved adjusted patient (hazard ratio, 0.59; P < 0.001) and graft (hazard ratio, 0.62; P < 0.001) survival versus CNI monotherapy. The benefit of CNI plus antimetabolite on patient and graft survival increased with older age.

Conclusions.
In this first longitudinal analysis of LT immunosuppression practices among Medicare beneficiaries, a CNI plus antimetabolite approach led to improved outcomes. Significant center heterogeneity in practice was observed.
A deep learning approach to identify seizure-prone and normal patients from their EEG records
Authors: Basu Sayantani , Campbell Roy H. 
Published: June 2022

AbstractVarious learning models distinguish between an electroencephalogram (EEG) record of a normal patient and one having a seizure. In this paper, we propose a deep-learning based short-term memory (LSTM) model to identify whether an EEG record belongs to a seizure-prone patient with a non-seizure record or to a normal patient. The study builds on two datasets, namely the TUH Abnormal EEG Corpus (TUAB) and the TUH EEG Seizure Corpus (TUSZ) including the classified EEG records for seizure-prone and normal patients. We conducted experiments on both imbalanced and balanced datasets and show results using an LSTM model. We observed that the model performs consistently in both balanced and imbalanced cases using only 5 seconds of EEG data from the patient records. We show that our proposed LSTM model gives test accuracies up to 99.84% in case of 2-class classification between the non-seizure and normal classes and up to 98.87% in case of 3-class classification among non-seizure, seizure, and normal classes. This provides a basis for making improved temporal predictions about the occurrences of seizures.
Influence of risk propensity, behavioural biases and demographic factors on equity investors' risk perception
Authors: Saivasan Rangapriya , Lokhande Madhavi 
Published: June 2022

PurposeInvestor risk perception is a personalized judgement on the uncertainty of returns pertaining to a financial instrument. This study identifies key psychological and demographic factors that influence risk perception. It also unravels the complex relationship between demographic attributes and investor's risk attitude towards equity investment.Design/methodology/approachExploratory factor analysis is used to identify factors that define investor risk perception. Multiple regression is used to assess the relationship between demographic traits and factor groups. Kruskal–Wallis test is used to ascertain whether the factors extracted differ across demographic categories. A risk perception framework based on these findings is developed to provide deeper insight.FindingsThere is evidence of the relationship and influence of demographic factors on risk propensity and behavioural bias. From this study, it is apparent that return expectation, time horizon and loss aversion, which define the risk propensity construct, vary significantly based on demographic traits. Familiarity, overconfidence, anchoring and experiential biases which define the behavioural bias construct differ across demographic categories. These factors influence the risk perception of an individual with respect to equity investments.Research limitations/implicationsThe reference for the framework of this study is limited as there has been no precedence of similar work in academia.Practical implicationsThis paper establishes that information seekers make rational decisions. The paper iterates the need for portfolio managers to develop and align investment strategies after evaluation of investors' risk by including these behavioural factors, this can particularly be advantageous during extreme volatility in markets that concedes the possibility of irrational decision making.Social implicationsThis study highlights that regulators need to acknowledge the investor's affective, cognitive and demographic impact on equity markets and align risk control measures that are conducive to market evolution. It also creates awareness among market participants that psychological factors and behavioural biases can have an impact on investment decisions.Originality/valueThis is the only study that looks at a three-dimensional perspective of the investor risk perception framework. The study presents the relationship between risk propensity, behavioural bias and demographic factors in the backdrop of “information” being the mediating variable. This paper covers five characteristics of risk propensity and eight behavioural biases, such a vast coverage has not been attempted within the academic realm earlier with the aforesaid perspective.
Unifying customer, product and brand performance management
Authors: Heldt Rodrigo , Silveira Cleo Schmitt , Luce Fernando Bins 
Published: June 2022

PurposeCustomer, product and brand (CPB) management constitute relevant and inextricably linked levels of decision-making that marketers should manage to drive business success. However, they are generally treated separately in extant research. It leads to a disconnected assessment and management of customers and products/brands, preventing marketers to take advantage of the positive implications of managing them simultaneously. This paper aims to propose a conceptual framework to unify these perspectives: the CPB bottom-up approach.Design/methodology/approachThe paper draws on a range of extant literature on customer equity, brand equity and product performance to identify how financial performance is assessed in each of these perspectives and support the conceptual proposition to unify these different levels of decisions-making.FindingsThe proposed framework allows predicting and managing the expected values of these three intertwined perspectives together, providing a unified forward-looking metric to more effectively drive marketing efforts.Research limitations/implicationsThe proposed framework opens the path for future discussion concerning possible models that can be adopted to implement it.Practical implicationsThe proposed framework allows managers to make decisions having a holistic assessment of CPB performance.Originality/valueIn practice, marketing managers have to deal with brand and product as well as customer levels of decision-making simultaneously. Besides this, adopting customer centricity does not decrease the importance of managing the performance of brands and products. Therefore, the proposition of a solution able to bridge the gap between these levels of decision-making enhances both the marketing practice and literature.

Published: June 2022

PurposePeace engineering and compassionate operations can unlock the potential of emerging technologies for social good. This work aims to investigate the integration of peace engineering and compassionate operations by proposing an integrative framework and identifying the main drivers regarding social good, considering the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) landscape.Design/methodology/approachThe authors used a two-stage methodology by employing a narrative literature review in the first stage to identify the relationships and drivers and propose an original framework. In the second stage, the authors utilized an expert panel to validate the framework’s drivers.FindingsThe authors identified five main categories related to peace engineering and compassionate operations, which were then used to support the categorization of the drivers. In the second stage, the authors validated the drivers with a panel of academicians and experienced industry practitioners.Practical implicationsThe proposed framework can provide insightful directions for practitioners and governments to develop strategies and projects in different contexts, including humanitarian logistics, climate change crises, supply chain disruptions, etc.Originality/valueThis work makes unique contributions by reinvigorating an amalgamation of the peace engineering and compassionate operations arenas and their integration with the SDGs to enable enhanced social good, supported by cutting-edge technologies. Thus, this framework’s contributions encompass essential theoretical, managerial, and social implications.
