Published: August 2022

AbstractThe effect of carbonates on the formation of magnesium silicate hydrate phases (M-S-H) was investigated in paste experiments. At molar ratio Mg/Si = 1.5, M-S-H pastes were synthesised from silica fume and MgO or MgO/hydromagnesite in a sodium carbonate-rich environment (dissolved 1.7 g of Na2CO3 for 100 g of binder). Thermogravimetric analysis, X-ray diffraction, and 29Si MAS NMR data showed that M-S-H phases formed much faster in the presence of carbonates, which destabilised brucite. 23Na MAS NMR data, cation exchange capacity measurements, thermogravimetric analysis coupled with infrared exhaust gas analysis, and 13C MAS NMR data showed that traces of sodium and carbonates were sorbed on M-S-H. However, no evidence of the formation of Mg-carbonate phases was observed in crystalline or amorphous form. Thermodynamic modelling carried out with an updated database for Mg-phases indicated that M-S-H and hydromagnesite should be stable, in contrast to the observed partial destabilisation of hydromagnesite.

Published: August 2022

Alzheimer Cafés may play an important psychosocial supporting role in the life of people li­ving with dementia and of their family caregivers by providing a community of understanding, inclusion, solidarity and mutual support. They can promote policy-, professional- and social dis­courses, the recognition of dementia as a social reality, and overall awareness of this complex challenge. They can also foster transdisciplinary collaboration among professionals as well as between professionals and lay people affected by dementia based on mutual understanding, ca­talysing the formation and operation of acting communities and networks of interest.
The active and purposeful presence and activities of Alzheimer Cafés on Internet platforms, in the increasingly prominent channels and fields of social discourse and community life in the 21st century, can be an important tool in the realization of these benefits.
This two-part paper analyses the publicly accessible online footprint and behaviour of Alzhe­imer Cafés from this perspective as measured by a list of 10 possible functions. It scrutinizes the realisation of possible benefits and advantages offered by Internet platforms between Septem­ber 2019 and August 2020, with a special focus on technology-based adaptive responses to the coronavirus-outbreak midway through that period.
This first part of the paper, which briefly overviews the Alzheimer Café concept and its his­tory in Hungary, and then presents the methodology of the study and the first half of the re­search results. The second part of the paper will continue to present the results, and will make recommendations for making more effective use of the potential of online platforms to realise the goals.

Published: August 2022

Introduction: The present study was conducted to investigate the effect of redemption narratives on generativity and consequently on psychological well-being in Iranian adults. In addition, the relationship between self-redemption and generativity with psychological well-being was examined separately.
Methods: The study population consisted of all adults aged 22-65 years who had a bachelor's degree or higher and were invited through cyberspace. Sixty six Iranian adults aged 22-65 years were selected by convenience sampling method. The instruments of this study included McAdams’ life story questionnaire, Loyola Generativity Scale, and Ryff psychological well-being scale. The method of analysis was qualitative-quantitative, which qualitative analysis was thematic and quantitative analysis was Pearson correlation.
Results: The results showed that in the Iranian adult population, there was a positive and significant relationship between the scores of self-redemption and generativity, self-redemption and psychological well-being, and generativity and psychological well-being (P <0.01).
Conclusion: Although there is a positive and significant relationship between self-redemption and generativity, self-redemption and psychological well-being, and generativity and psychological well-being, the Iranian adult population often does not tell their stories in the theme of redemption. They also have low score on the generativity and then they also experience low psychological well-being, resulting from cultural and historical origins.

Published: August 2022

Introduction: Following the epidemic crisis and the outbreak of Coronavirus 2019 (Covid-19) in Iran and other provinces, the statistics of the patients showed that Yazd is among the top few provinces in the country in terms of the prevalence and incidence of this deadly disease. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the risk factors related to the life status of patients with coronavirus.
Methods: In this cross-sectional analytical study, demographic, clinical, and biochemical information of 932 patients who were infected with COVID-19 from May 2018 to March 2019 and were hospitalized in Shahid Sadoughi Hospital in Yazd were examined. Information was recorded through patients’ records or telephone calls. Data analysis was performed by independent t-test, Mann-Whitney, Chi-square, and logistic regression using SPSS-22 software.
Results: Based on the results 57.9% (N=540) of patients were male and the mean age of all patients was 53.33 (19 ± 0.15) years, and also 9.6% (N=82) of patients died. The risk of death for patients hospitalized in the intensive care unit (ICU) was 75 times higher than that of patients who were hospitalized in general wards. Also, the risk of death for patients with a history of cancer was 12 times higher than other patients. The risk factors associated with mortality were identified by multivariate logistic regression model, which included increasing age, having shortness of breath, history of cancer, hospitalization in the ICU, increased white blood cell count, and sodium deficiency.
Conclusion: In order to reduce the mortality of patients with COVID-19, it is necessary for physicians to prioritize the treatment of elderly patients with underlying diseases, such as cancer and shortness of breath in order to improve their clinical condition.

Published: August 2022

Estuda-se a automedicação da população com base em informações na Internet durante a pandemia da COVID-19. O problema de pesquisa é: em que medida a população se automedicou com base em informações veiculadas pela internet, durante a pandemia de COVID-19? O objetivo deste trabalho é identificar e descrever como a população buscou, em conteúdos na internet, medicamentos diversos para se automedicar durante a pandemia. Trata-se de pesquisa descritiva, de abordagem quanti-qualitativa de corte transversal. A pesquisa é considerada de opinião, de acordo com a Resolução 510/2016 da CONEP. Os dados foram coletados a partir de um questionário elaborado para atingir os objetivos da pesquisa e foram disponibilizados pelo Google Forms, entre fevereiro e março de 2021. 54 participantes distribuídos em 14 homens e 40 mulheres de diferentes cidades do país. Entre esses, 36 afirmaram ter buscado orientações na internet sobre medicamentos para a COVID-19, entre os quais destacam-se: vitaminas em geral; vermífugos e medicamentos para aumentar a imunidade. Concluiu-se que o distanciamento social e a redução do contato com outros semelhantes conduzem a um gasto de tempo maior diante de aparelhos conectados à internet, o que por conseguinte pode acarretar a automedicação, mesmo em pessoas com nível educacional mais elevado.

Published: August 2022

“Hyper-adaptability” is the capability of the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) to manage the impairment of sensory, motor, and cognitive functions by reactivating and recruiting pre-existing networks that are latent but available. In studying hyper-adaptability, interdisciplinary research that integrates mathematical modeling and robotic technologies with neuroscience findings is important. Thanks to support from Japan’s Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) in the form of Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research on Innovative Areas, the Hyper-adaptability Research Project started in July 2019.
The research works reported in this special issue are the latest achievements of the Hyper-adaptability Research Project. The special issue consists of three review articles and 10 research papers. These contributions cover a wide range of hyper-adaptability research activities, including neurophysiological experiments, functional neuroimaging, mathematical modeling of brain and musculoskeletal systems, cognitive psychological experiments, and robotic / virtual reality interventions for neurorehabilitation, carried out to clarify the mechanisms of hyper-adaptability.

Concomitant Achilles Tendon Lengthening with Transmetatarsal Amputation for the Prevention of Late Forefoot Ulceration
Authors: Bullock Mark J. , Gill Christopher M. , Thomas Ronald , Blebea John 
Published: August 2022

Background:
Late development of forefoot ulcers is a common finding after transmetatarsal amputation (TMA). The primary aim of this study was to examine whether concomitant prophylactic Achilles tendon lengthening (ATL) was associated with a reduction in the incidence of forefoot ulcers postoperatively.

Methods:
A retrospective chart review was performed by 2 authors to identify patients who underwent TMA over a period of 5.5 years from January 1, 2015, through July 31, 2020. They identified 110 feet in 107 patients; the 83 patients (85 feet) who had ≥120 days of follow-up were used for the study. Follow-up was performed with telephone calls (80 patients) or during the last office visit (3 patients). Those who were contacted by telephone were asked if they developed an ulcer after healing from the original surgery. Mean follow-up time was 672 ± 258 days for the 30 feet with concomitant Achilles lengthening and 663 ± 434 days for the 55 feet without Achilles lengthening. Demographic data were analyzed for association with late development of forefoot ulceration.

Results:
Eighty-five feet were included in the analysis. Late forefoot ulcers developed in 35% of feet that had a TMA alone (n = 55) compared with 3% of feet who received a concomitant ATL (n = 30; p < 0.001); the 2 groups had similar mean follow-up times. Mean time to ulcer development was 587 ± 420 days in the 19 patients without Achilles lengthening. Of the patients who developed late forefoot ulcers, 47% also developed osteomyelitis, and 16% went on to proximal amputation. Patients who developed forefoot ulcers were younger (55 ± 12 versus 63 ± 11 years of age; p = 0.006) than those who did not.

Conclusions:
ATL at the time of TMA is associated with a reduction in the risk of later development of forefoot ulcers, especially in younger patients.

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

Published: August 2022

Background:
Nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) from high-income countries provide surgical outreach for patients in low and middle-income countries (LMICs); however, these efforts lack a coordinated measurement of their ability to build capacity. While the World Health Organization and others recommend outreach trips that aim to build the capacity of the local health-care system, no guidance exists on how to accomplish this. The objective of this paper is to establish a framework and a blueprint to guide the operations of NGOs that provide outreach to build orthopaedic surgical capacity in LMICs.

Methods:
We conducted a qualitative analysis of semistructured interviews with 16 orthopaedic surgeons and administrators located in 7 countries (6 LMICs) on the necessary domains for capacity-building; the analysis was guided by a literature review of capacity-building frameworks. We subsequently conducted a modified nominal group technique with a consortium of 10 U.S.-based surgeons with expertise in global surgical outreach, which was member-checked with 8 new stakeholders from 4 LMICs.

Results:
A framework with 7 domains for capacity-building in global surgical outreach was identified. The domains included professional development, finance, partnerships, governance, community impact, culture, and coordination. These domains were tiered in a hierarchical system to stratify the level of capacity for each domain. A blueprint was developed to guide the operations of an organization seeking to build capacity.

Conclusions:
The developed framework identified 7 domains to address when building capacity during global orthopaedic surgical outreach. The framework and its tiered system can be used to assess capacity and guide capacity-building efforts in LMICs. The developed blueprint can inform the operations of NGOs toward activities that focus on building capacity in order to ensure a measured and sustained impact.
Effects of Wettability and Minerals on Residual Oil Distributions Based on Digital Rock and Machine Learning

Published: August 2022

Abstract
The wettability of mineral surfaces has significant impacts on transport mechanisms of two-phase flow, distribution characteristics of fluids, and the formation mechanisms of residual oil during water flooding. However, few studies have investigated such effects of mineral type and its surface wettability on rock properties in the literature. To unravel the dependence of hydrodynamics on wettability and minerals distribution, we designed a new experimental procedure that combined the multiphase flow experiments with a CT scan and QEMSCAN to obtain 3D digital models with multiple minerals and fluids. With the aid of QEMSCAN, six mineral components and two fluids in sandstones were segmented from the CT data based on the histogram threshold and watershed methods. Then, a mineral surface analysis algorithm was proposed to extract the mineral surface and classify its mineral categories. The in situ contact angle and pore occupancy were calculated to reveal the wettability variation of mineral surface and distribution characteristics of fluids. According to the shape features of the oil phase, the self-organizing map (SOM) method, one of the machine learning methods, was used to classify the residual oil into five types, namely, network, cluster, film, isolated, and droplet oil. The results indicate that each mineral’s contribution to the mineral surface is not proportional to its relative content. Feldspar, quartz, and clay are the main minerals in the studied sandstones and play a controlling role in the wettability variation. Different wettability samples show various characteristics of pore occupancy. The water flooding front of the weakly water-wet to intermediate-wet sample is uniform, and oil is effectively displaced in all pores with a long oil production period. The water-wet sample demonstrates severe fingering, with a high pore occupancy change rate in large pores and a short oil production period. The residual oil patterns gradually evolve from networks to clusters, isolated, and films due to the effects of snap-off and wettability inversion. This paper reveals the effects of wettability of mineral surface on the distribution characteristics and formation mechanisms of residual oil, which offers us an in-deep understanding of the impacts of wettability and minerals on multiphase flow and helps us make good schemes to improve oil recovery.
Production Optimization Using CO2 Gas Lift in EOR Fields: A Permian Basin Case Study

Published: August 2022

Abstract
Carbon dioxide (CO2) is commonly used for enhanced oil recovery (EOR) in the Permian Basin and is gaining interest for Carbon Capture, Utilization & Storage. A study was conducted to develop candidate selection criteria, pilot test the design, and optimize CO2 gas lift to stabilize production on intermittently flowing wells in one of these EOR fields.
The initial CO2 gas lift design was installed in 2019 using a capillary string, downhole check valve, gas lift mandrel, and packer. A 34-day bottomhole pressure and temperature survey was evaluated to assess the success of the pilot and improve the equipment design for future installations. The phase changes of CO2 were accounted for when evaluating the pilot, modeling gas lift, and improving equipment design.
Carbon dioxide is a complex fluid at the bottomhole pressures (BHP) and temperatures (BHT) observed during the pilot. These pressures and temperatures were plotted on the CO2 phase diagram, which showed phase changes between vapor and liquid at higher gas lift injection rates. Further analysis revealed the CO2 changed phase from a liquid to a vapor across the downhole check valve. The Joule-Thompson (JT) effect across the check valve at the tubing entry point dropped the temperature of the produced fluids so much that the CO2 changed phase from a vapor back to a liquid. This increased the hydrostatic pressure and therefore, the bottomhole flowing pressure.
These CO2 phase changes in the tubing occurred in cycles comprising five distinct stages: (1) BHT cooling forced CO2 from the vapor to liquid phase and increased BHP; (2) BHT remained fairly steady as BHP increased due to liquid loading; (3) BHT started warming at a faster rate as BHP rose due to the decreasing pressure drop across the downhole check valve; (4) the tubing unloaded as CO2 flashed in a chain reaction down the tubing, resulting in an influx of warmer reservoir fluid; and (5) BHT remained steady as BHP decreased and the annular packer fluid restarted the cooling process. Results from this initial pilot were used successfully to optimize CO2 gas lift for subsequent installations.
CO2 gas lift can be an effective artificial lift method to stabilize production if the equipment is designed correctly to maximize the CO2 gas fraction at the tubing entry point. A poorly designed CO2 gas lift installation may result in unstable production from liquid loading events caused by the cyclic JT effect. CO2 gas lift is a valuable artificial lift method to reduce failure frequency and operating costs in EOR fields with readily available CO2.
