Authors: Tang Justin , Arvind Varun , White Christopher A. , Dominy Calista , Cho Samuel , Kim Jun S. 
Published: August 2022

Study Design:
A quantitative analysis of written, online reviews of Cervical Spine Research Society (CSRS) surgeons.

Objective:
This study quantitatively analyzes the written reviews of members of the CSRS to report biases associated with demographic factors and frequently used words in reviews to help aid physician practices.

Summary of Background Data:
Physician review websites have influence on a patient’s selection of a provider, but written reviews are subjective. Sentiment analysis of writing through artificial intelligence can quantify surgeon reviews to provide actionable feedback.

Methods:
Online written and star-rating reviews of CSRS surgeons were obtained from healthgrades.com. A sentiment analysis package was used to obtain compound scores of each physician’s reviews. The relationship between demographic variables and average sentiment score of written reviews were evaluated through t-tests. Positive and negative word and bigram frequency analysis was performed to indicate trends in the reviews’ language.

Results:
In all, 2239 CSRS surgeon’s reviews were analyzed. Analysis showed a positive correlation between the sentiment scores and overall average star-rated reviews (r
2=0.60, P<0.01). There was no difference in review sentiment by provider sex. However, the age of surgeons showed a significant difference as those <55 had more positive reviews (mean=+0.50) than surgeons >=55 (mean=+0.37) (P<0.01). The most positive reviews focused both on pain and behavioral factors, whereas the most negative focused mainly on pain. Behavioral attributes increased the odds of receiving positive reviews while pain decreased them.

Conclusion:
The top-rated surgeons were described as considerate providers and effective at managing pain in their most frequently used words and bigrams. However, the worst-rated ones were mainly described as unable to relieve pain. Through quantitative analysis of physician reviews, pain is a clear factor contributing to both positive and negative reviews of surgeons, reinforcing the need for proper pain expectation management.

Level of Evidence:
Level 4—retrospective case-control study.

Authors: Pai Fu-Yuan , Arthur Chou Te-Feng , Ma Hsuan-Hsiao , Chang Wei-Lin , Tsai Shang-Wen , Chen Cheng-Fong , Wu Po-Kuei , Chen Wei-Ming 
Published: August 2022

Background:
The use of primary or revision stem during revision total hip arthroplasty (THA) for aseptic stem loosening with Paprosky type I/II femoral defect remains controversial. The aim of this study was to compare the outcomes of patients who underwent revision THA with a primary or revision stem.

Methods:
We retrospectively reviewed 78 patients who received revision THA for aseptic stem loosening using primary (N = 28) or revision stems (N = 50). The bone defects were classified as Paprosky type I or II. The mean follow-up duration was 72.3 ± 34.7 months. The primary outcome domains included surgical complications and implant failures. The secondary outcome domains included medical complications, 30- and 90-day readmission, and Harris hip score (HHS).

Results:
The use of revision stem was associated with a higher incidence than primary stem of patient complications (60.0% vs. 32.1%, p = 0.018), including intraoperative femur fracture (28.0% vs. 7.1%, p = 0.029) and greater trochanter fracture (16.0% vs. 0%, p = 0.045). The implant survival rate was comparable between groups. HHS at the final follow-up was similar.

Conclusion:
With a lower risk of surgical complications and a similar rate of mid-term implant survival, cementless primary stem appears superior to revision stem in revision THA for aseptic stem loosening with Paprosky type I/II femoral defect.
Efficacy and safety of microwave ablation and radiofrequency ablation in the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma: A systematic review and meta-analysis
Authors: Dou Zhimin , Lu Fei , Ren Longfei , Song Xiaojing , Li Bin , Li Xun 
Published: August 2022

Background:
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most common malignant tumors. Surgical resection is often only possible in the early stages of HCC and among those with limited cirrhosis. Radiofrequency ablation and Microwave ablation are 2 main types of percutaneous thermal ablation for the treatment of HCC. The efficacy and safety between these 2 therapy methods are still under a debate.

Objective:
To compare the efficacy and safety of Radiofrequency ablation and Microwave ablation in treating HCC.

Methods:
PubMed, EMBASE, the Cochrane databases and Web of Science were systematically searched. We included randomized controlled trials and cohort studies comparing the efficacy and safety of Radiofrequency ablation and Microwave ablation in HCC patients. Outcome measures on local tumor progression, complete ablation, disease-free survival, overall survival, or major complications were compared between the 2 groups. The random effect model was used when there was significant heterogeneity between studies, otherwise the fixed effect model was used.

Results:
A total of 33 studies, involving a total of 4589 patients were identified, which included studies comprised 7 RCTs, 24 retrospective observational trials, and 2 prospective observational trial. Microwave ablation had a lower local tumor progression than Radiofrequency ablation in cohort studies (OR = 0.78, 95% CI 0.64–0.96, P = .02). Complete ablation rate of Microwave ablation was higher than that of Radiofrequency ablation in cohort studies (OR = 1.54, 95% CI 1.05–2.25, P = .03). There was no significant difference in overall survival and disease-free survival between the 2 groups. Meta-analysis showed that there was no significant difference in the main complications between Microwave ablation and Radiofrequency ablation.

Conclusions:
Microwave ablation has higher complete ablation and lower local tumor progression than Radiofrequency ablation in the ablation treatment of HCC nodules. There was no significant difference in overall survival between the 2 therapy methods.
Successful treatment of severe ARDS caused by accidental inhalation of nitric acid fumes with veno-venous ECMO: A case report and literature review
Authors: Wang Qian , Zhu Junchen , Chen Lvlin , He Yan , Li Hui , Lan Ying , Huang Chao , Peng Liyuan 
Published: August 2022

Rationale:
The treatment of severe acute respiratory distress syndrome caused by accidental inhalation of nitric acid fumes is challenging. Few successful cases have been reported in literature. Owing to the development of extracorporeal life support, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) may play an important role in treatment.

Patient concerns:
A 40-year-old man was accidentally exposed to nitric acid fumes for 10 minutes in a factory. Mild throat irritation and dyspnea occurred 3.5 hours after exposure. Severe dyspnea recurred approximately two hours later. Chest computed tomography revealed bilateral interstitial edema. Tracheal intubation and mechanical ventilation were provided when the non-invasive ventilator failed to support the patient. However, his vital signs, respiratory function, and circulation were aggravated.

Diagnosis:
Aspiration pneumonia (inhalation of nitric acid fumes), acute respiratory distress syndrome, and hypertension.

Interventions:
Veno-venous ECMO (VV-ECMO) was started 6 hours after exposure at the intensive care unit. During VV-ECMO, hypoxia improved. However, chest radiography revealed aggravated pulmonary edema. Prone positioning under ultrasound monitoring and high-dose methylprednisolone were administered on the first day. Nebulization and fiberoptic bronchoscopy for airway management were performed on the second day after the exposure. Pulmonary secretions were significantly reduced 48 hours later.

Outcomes:
The patient was weaned off V-V ECMO after 6 days, achieved the standard of extubation after 9 days, and was discharged without serious pulmonary or infectious complications after 12 days of hospitalization. Three weeks after discharge, the patient’s lung function showed a slight decline in the diffusion function. Two months after discharge, the patient’s lung function returned to normal.

Lesson:
Early ECMO combined with prone positioning and visualized management through ultrasonography can better improve the prognoses of patients and promote lung function recovery.
Community pharmacy-based SOAP notes documentation
Authors: Sapkota Binaya , Shrestha Rajiv , Giri Shimonraj 
Published: August 2022

There is still scarce and sparse evidence regarding documentation of the subjective, objective, assessment and plan (SOAP) note in community pharmacies despite its long implementation history in clinical and academia settings. Hence, we aimed to document and maintain SOAP notes for individual patients visiting community pharmacies for their health problems.
We conducted a community-based cross-sectional study at 2 community pharmacies in Nepal from July to December 2019. We recruited 400 patients from all age groups suffering from any health problem using simple random sampling. Patients’ subjective complaints were retrieved from their respective prescriptions and verified by interviewing them. Data were collected on the standard format of the SOAP notes and all data related to patients’ subjective and objective evaluations, and assessments and plans were descriptively analyzed with R programming 4.0.3. Drug interaction profile was checked with the Medscape Drug Interaction Checker.
A total of 87 (21.8%) patients aged 42 to 51 years participated in the research, out of whom 235 (58.8%) were female, 208 (52%) illiterate, 359 (89.8%) were facing mild polypharmacy, and 40 (9.9%) were suffering from joint, leg, ankle, and knee pain. There were 41 minor (11.4%), 130 major (32.7%), and 3 severe (0.9%) drug interaction cases (i.e., medication-related problems), with 11 (2.8%) occurring between amlodipine and metformin, which required close monitoring. There were 226 (56.5%) cases with follow-up planned for the patients when necessary.
This novel approach in documenting SOAP notes at community pharmacies during dispensing would be an extended form of the same being applied in clinical settings. Hence, this would open a new arena for the community pharmacists to expand their professionalism beyond the clinical and academia by documenting patients’ complex disease and medication profiles in their documentation.
The effects of hydroxyapatite implantation with the autogenous sclera cap: A cohort study
Authors: Zhou Hongwei , Zhu Chongyan , Chen Kai , Zheng Xiang 
Published: August 2022

We performed a novel hydroxyapatite (HA) prosthesis implantation method in which an HA implant was implanted into the scleral shell with an autogenous scleral cap.
Twenty-six patients who had undergone the novel HA prosthesis implantation method and 32 patients who had undergone traditional HA prosthesis implantation were retrospectively reviewed. The postoperative activity of the artificial eye was measured by the Hirschberg test combined with arc perimetry. The visual analog score (VAS) was used to evaluate 2-month postoperative pain and 2-month postoperative discomfort. HA implant vascularization was measured with enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) 2 and 6 months after the operation. The enhancement volume (V
E) and the volume of the HA implant (V
HA) were measured. All cases were followed up for 2 years. Measurement data were processed using SAS 6.12.
There was a statistically significant difference (P = .016) between the percentages of excellent grade in the two groups. Two months after implantation, the median pain scores of the study and control groups were 2 and 2.5, respectively, and there was a statistically significant difference (W = 585.0, P = .004); there was a statistically significant difference (W = 535.5, P = .000) between the median discomfort scores of the study group (score = 1) and control group (score = 2); the mean VE/VHA values of the study and control groups were 0.3075 and 0.1535, respectively, and there was a statistically significant difference (t = −8.196, P = .000). Six months after implantation, the V
E/V
HA values of the study and control groups were 0.9686 and 0.5934, respectively, and there was a statistically significant difference (W = 549.0, P = .000). Within 2 years of postoperative follow-up, there were no serious complications in the study group.
In the study group, in which the hydroxyapatite implant was implanted into a preserved scleral shell with unaltered muscles and covered with an autogenous scleral cap, postoperative activity and the fibrovascularization of the HA implant were significantly increased, and postoperative pain and discomfort were significantly reduced.

Published: August 2022

This study aimed to investigate the current status and influencing factors of kinesiophobia in patients after insertion of peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC).
A total of 240 patients with PICC were included. Their postinsertion status and influencing factors were investigated using the general information questionnaire, Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia (TSK), Medical Coping Modes Questionnaire, Numerical Rating Scale, and Self-rating Anxiety Scale.
The mean TSK score was 36.49 ± 4.19 points, and 89 patients (37.08%) had kinesiophobia. Multiple linear regression analysis showed that factors such as education level, age, monthly income level, catheterization history, face, pain level, anxiety, and number of needle insertions influenced postoperative kinesiophobia in patients with PICC (P < .05). The total variation in the TSK score was 71.8%.
The incidence of kinesiophobia was relatively high after PICC insertion. The medical staff needs to undertake targeted intervention measures to help minimize kinesiophobia after PICC insertion, allowing patients to perform scientifically correct functional exercises and attain physical recovery.

Authors: Yu Fangyu , Qi Shun , Ji Yanan , Wang Xizhi , Fang Shaohong , Cao Ruokui 
Published: August 2022

Background:
The effects of omega-3 fatty acid on cardiovascular health obtained inconsistent results. A systematic review and meta-analysis were therefore conducted to assess the effects of omega-3 fatty acid supplementation for primary and secondary prevention strategies of major cardiovascular outcomes.

Methods:
The databases of PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane library were systematically searched from their inception until September 2020. Relative risks (RRs) with 95% confidence intervals were used to assess effect estimates by using the random-effects model.

Results:
Twenty-eight randomized controlled trials involving 136,965 individuals were selected for the final meta-analysis. Omega-3 fatty acid was noted to be associated with a lower risk of major cardiovascular events (RR, 0.94; 95% CI, 0.89–1.00; P = .049) and cardiac death (RR, 0.92; 95% CI, 0.85–0.99; P = .022). However, no significant differences was noted between omega-3 fatty acid and the control for the risks of all-cause mortality (RR, 0.97; 95% CI, 0.92–1.03; P = .301), myocardial infarction (RR, 0.90; 95% CI, 0.80–1.01; P = .077), and stroke (RR, 1.02; 95% CI, 0.94–1.11; P = .694).

Conclusions:
Major cardiovascular events and cardiac death risks could be avoided with the use of omega-3 fatty acid. However, it has no significant effects on the risk of all-cause mortality, myocardial infarction, and stroke.
Sensor acquired reachable workspace in the elderly population: A cross-sectional observational study

Published: August 2022

The elderly population experiences a decline in upper extremity range of motion (ROM), impairing activities of daily living. The primary mode of quantification is by goniometer measurement. In this cross-sectional observation study, we investigate a sensor-acquired reachable workspace for assessing shoulder ROM decline in an elderly population in comparison to traditional measurements.
Sixty-one healthy subjects aged ≥ 65 years were included and compared to a cohort of 39 younger subjects, aged 20 to 64. A sensor acquired reachable workspace using a Kinect motion capture camera measured the maximum reaching ability of both arms while in a seated position, measured in m2 and normalized to arm length to calculate a novel score defined as a relative surface area. This score approximates range of motion in the upper extremity. This measurement was compared to goniometer measurements, including active ROM in shoulder flexion and abduction.
Total RSA shows moderate to strong correlation between goniometer in flexion and abduction in the dominant arm (R = 0.790 and R = 0.650, P < .001, respectively) and moderate correlations for the nondominant arm (R = 0.622 and R = 0.615, P < .001). Compared to the younger cohort, the elderly population demonstrated significantly reduced total RSA in the dominant arm (meanelderly = 0.774, SD = 0.09; meanyounger = 0.830, SD = 0.07, P < .001), with significant reductions in the upper lateral quadrant in both arms (dominant: meanelderly = 0.225, SD = 0.04; meanyounger = 0.241, SD = 0.01; P < .001; nondominant: meanelderly = 0.213, SD = 0.03; meanyounger = 0.228, SD = 0.01; P = .004). The test-retest reliability was strong for both dominant and nondominant total RSA (ICC > 0.762).
The reachable workspace demonstrates promise as a simple and quick tool for clinicians to assess detailed and quantitative active shoulder ROM decline in the elderly population.
Unicompartmental knee arthroplasty is superior to high tibial osteotomy for the treatment of medial unicompartmental osteoarthritis: A systematic review and meta-analysis
Authors: Huang Linke , Xu Yinglong , Wei Linhua , Yuan Guangzhi , Chen Weiwei , Gao Shiyao , Liu Wei , Tan Zhen , Zhao Jinmin 
Published: August 2022

Background:
Unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) and high tibial osteotomy (HTO) are widely used for the treatment of medial unicompartmental knee osteoarthritis (OA). However, the best approach remains controversial. This study aimed to present a systematic review and a meta-analysis to directly compare the clinical outcomes between HTO and UKA. We hypothesized that the clinical outcomes after UKA and HTO would be similar.

Methods:
Electronic databases (Web of Science, PubMed, Embase, CENTRAL, and Biosis Preview) were searched for related studies published before November 30, 2021. Retrospective and prospective studies that directly compared the postoperative outcomes between UKA and HTO were included. Odds ratio (ORs) and 95% confidence interval (CIs) for complications, revision to total knee arthroplasty (TKA), and weighted mean difference (MD) and 95% CIs in range of motion (ROM), pain, walking speed and function score were evaluated. Two reviewers independently assessed the quality of the studies. Subgroup and sensitivity analyses were performed to explore the heterogeneity.

Results:
Twenty-three retrospective and 6 prospective studies were included. A total of 3004 patients (3084 knees) were evaluated for comparison. Complications (OR, 4.88, 95% CI: 2.92–6.86) were significantly greater in the HTO group than in the UKA group. Postoperative function scores including Lysholm score (MD, −2.78, 95% CI: −5.37 to −0.18) and Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) score (MD, −2.80, 95% CI: −5.39 to −0.20) were significantly lower in the HTO group than the UKA group. The postoperative ROM was similar between HTO and mobile-bearing UKA (MD, −3.78, 95% CI: −15.78 to 8.22). However, no significant differences were observed between the HTO and UKA group in terms of postoperative pain, walking speed, and revision to TKA.

Conclusions:
UKA is superior to HTO in minimizing complications and enhancing postoperative function scores. Mobile-bearing UKA has a similar ROM compared with HTO. Both HTO and UKA provide satisfactory clinical outcomes in terms of walking speed, relieving pain, and revision to TKA. UKA appears to be more suitable for the elderly, and both mobile-bearing UKA and HTO are viable surgical options for younger active individuals.
Factors associated with death places among elderly patients receiving home-based care
Authors: Chiang Jui-Kun , Kao Yee-Hsin 
Published: August 2022

The quality of end-of-life (EOL) care for patients receiving home-based care is a critical issue for health care providers. Dying in a preferred place is recognized as a key EOL care quality indicator. We explore the factors associated with death at home or nursing facilities among elderly patients receiving home-based care.
This retrospective study was based on a medical chart review between January 2018 and December 2019 of elderly patients. Multivariate analysis was conducted by fitting multiple logistic regression models with the stepwise variable selection procedure to explore the associated factors.
The 205 elderly patients receiving home-based care were enrolled for analysis. The mean participant age was 84.2 ± 7.8 years. Multiple logistic regression indicated that significant factors for elderly home-based patients who died at home or nursing facilities were receiving palliative service (odds ratio [OR], 3.21; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.37–7.51; P = .007), symptoms of nausea or vomiting (OR, 5.38; 95% CI, 1.12–25.84; P = .036), fewer emergency department visits (OR, 0.07; 95% CI, 0.03–0.16; P < .001), and less intravenous third-generation cephalosporin use (OR, 0.15; 95% CI, 0.03–0.75; P = .021) in the last month of life. Patients with dementia had a lower probability of dying at home or nursing facilities than patients with other diagnosis (OR, 0.34, 95% CI, 0.13–0.90; P = .030).
Among elderly home-based patients, receiving palliative service, with nausea or vomiting, and fewer emergency department visits in the last month of life favored home or nursing facilities deaths. Practitioners should be aware of the factors with higher probabilities of dying at home and in nursing facilities. We suggested that palliative services need to be further developed and extended to ensure that patients with dementia can receive adequate EOL care at home and in nursing facilities.
