Background:
Infection is a dreaded complication of implant-based breast reconstruction. There is a paucity of literature on the outcomes of a secondary reconstruction after infected implant-based breast reconstruction explantation.

Methods:
The authors conducted a retrospective study of patients who underwent a second implant-based breast reconstruction following a failed infected device between January of 2006 and December of 2019. Surgical and patient-reported outcomes (BREAST-Q) were collected and analyzed.

Results:
A total of 6093 implant-based breast reconstructions were performed during the study period, 298 (5 percent) of which involved device removal because of infection. Eighty-three patients ultimately received 92 second-attempt breast implants. Thirty-six percent of cases developed at least one postoperative complication, with infection [23 breasts (25 percent)] being the most common. Compared with first-attempt implant-based breast reconstruction, we found significantly higher infection rates among second-attempt cases (9 percent and 21 percent, respectively; p = 0.0008). Patient-reported satisfaction with the breast and sexual well-being were lower after second-attempt than after first-attempt implant-based breast reconstruction (p = 0.018 and p = 0.002, respectively) reported in the literature. Mean follow-up was 41 ± 35 months. If we exclude patients with prior radiation therapy and those who received device exchange, the success rate is 88 percent.

Conclusions:
It is reasonable to offer women second-attempt implant-based breast reconstruction after explantation because of infection. However, this patient population has a higher infection and explantation rate and lower patient-reported satisfaction than patients undergoing first-attempt implant-based breast reconstruction. Because of these increased surgical risks and elevated complication rates, patients must be given reasonable expectations during preoperative discussions and when providing informed consent for second-attempt implant-based breast reconstruction.

Comparative Analysis of the Effects of Escitalopram, Pramipexole, and Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation on Depression in Patients With Parkinson Disease: An Open-Label Randomized Controlled Trial
Authors: Chen Jing , Xu Pengfei , Guo Xunyi , Zou Tao 
Published: June 2022

Objective
This study aimed to compare the effects of different antidepressant therapies on depression in patients with Parkinson disease (PD) and to provide a reference for clinical treatment.

Methods
A total of 328 patients with idiopathic PD were selected consecutively. Subjects met Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disease, Fourth Edition, criteria for a depressive disorder, or operationally defined subsyndromal depression, and scored greater than 17 on the 17-item Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD-17). One hundred thirty-one patients with PD accompanied with depression were enrolled into the experimental group. The subjects were randomly divided into 4 groups, and 118 were eventually completed: routine treatment group (n = 29), routine treatment + escitalopram group (n = 29), routine treatment + pramipexole group (n = 31), and routine treatment + transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) group (n = 29). After 4 weeks of treatments, the efficacy of each treatment was evaluated using HAMD score and reduction rate.

Results
After 4 weeks of treatment, the HAMD score was used for pair-to-pair comparison between the 4 groups. The therapeutic efficiency of escitalopram, pramipexole, and repetitive TMS was superior to routine anti-PD treatment, and the differences were statistically significant (P < 0.05). There was no statistical difference between escitalopram and pramipexole, but all of them were superior to rTMS. Further logistic regression analysis suggested that 50% reduction in HAMD score from baseline was associated with the treatment method. Among them, escitalopram had statistical significance (P < 0.05).

Conclusions
Escitalopram, pramipexole, and high-frequency TMS had better efficacy in patients with PD complicated with depression. At 4 weeks, escitalopram showed better antidepressant effects and improved patients' quality of life and did not worsen motor function.
“You can call me Susan!” Doing gendered class work in luxury service encounters
Authors: Bernauer Vanessa Sandra , Sieben Barbara , Haunschild Axel 
Published: June 2022

PurposeWith a focus on service encounters in the luxury segment of hospitality and tourism, the authors analyse how inherent social class distinctions and status differences are (re-)produced and which role gender plays in this process of “doing class”.Design/methodology/approachThe authors combine concepts of class work and inequality regimes with a focus on intersections of class and gender. The empirical study is based on interviews in Germany with first-class flight attendants, five-star hotel employees, and luxury customers on how they perceive and legitimize luxury services, working conditions and status differences.FindingsThe authors identify perceptions and practices of status enhancement and status dissonance among luxury service workers, as well as gender practices and meanings such as specific feminized roles service workers take on. The authors also conceptualize these intersecting patterns of inequality reproduction as “gendered class work”.Originality/valueThe study broadens empirical accounts of labour relations in the service industries. The concept of organizational class work is extended towards worker–customer interactions. With the concept of gendered class work, the authors contribute to research on the intersectionality of class and gender and the reproduction of inequalities.
International HRM headquarters as a top management group in Israel
Authors: Kidron Aviv 
Published: June 2022

PurposeThis study extends the understanding of the context of IHRM headquarters as one of the top management groups (TMGs) through the application of both upper echelons theory and contextual theory.Design/methodology/approachSemi-structured interviews were conducted with senior Israeli HR managers from international advanced-technology companies.FindingsThis study expands on theory by explaining how contexts act as constraints or opportunities for IHRM headquarter professionals as TMGs. The organizational context in which the IHRM headquarters take part is based on two themes: organizational structure and shared values. This is followed by the context of IHRM headquarters that includes two foundations for integration: strategic IHRM and trust. Finally, integration is derived from two themes: collaborative behaviors and electronic HRM.Originality/valueThis research has yielded a theoretical framework, which makes progress toward developing an integrative paradigm between IHRM headquarters' behavioral integration and organizational features. The paper presents a valuable “toolkit” for facilitating internal integration in IHRM headquarters.
Understanding customer-perceived values for apparel retailing in India
Authors: Kumar Singh Abhishek , Singh Patel Bharat , Samuel Cherian 
Published: June 2022

PurposeInfrastructural revolution, intense competition and customer attraction towards organised apparel retailing in India are potentially affecting traditional retailing. The authors seek to identify the factors that customers perceive during shopping in organised apparel retail store. This study also investigates the indirect effects of identified factors on behavioural outcomes such as loyalty.Design/methodology/approachThe study randomly selected the customers immediately after shopping to minimise the experience's carryover effects. A sample of 648 customers was collected. Data were analysed using multivariate analysis of covariance.FindingsThe study has found that in-store logistics is the second order factor with ease of return, on-shelf availability, product accessibility, shopping convenience, and product information as the variables. The result shows that in-store logistics, store environment, store communication, merchandise assortment, perceived price and employee attribute influence customer satisfaction. As expected, these factors indirectly influence the loyalty.Research limitations/implicationsThis study focused on organised multi-brand apparel retailing, and the survey was conducted in a tier-II city of India only. Hence, any attempt to generalise the findings must be undertaken with caution.Practical implicationsIn the context of multi-brand retailing, competition is fierce. New entrants and traditional apparel retailers hesitate to adopt organised apparel retailing. The findings of this study can be helpful for new entrants and traditional apparel retailers to adopt organised apparel retailing.Originality/valuePrevious studies in the field of multi-brand retailing have mainly focused on the marketing aspect of retail stores. This study contributes to the operations aspect and tests the impact of operational function (in-store logistics) on customer satisfaction.
Cultural aspects of the EU-Whistleblowing Directive
Authors: Teichmann Fabian Maximilian Johannes , Wittmann Chiara 
Published: June 2022

Purpose
The European Union’s Whistleblower Directive (WBD), or formally the “Directive (EU) 2019/1937 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 October 2019 on the protection of persons reporting infringements of Union law” seeks to establish a uniform standard for whistleblowing protection across member state jurisdictions. Considering the international reach of the directive, it inevitably confronts divergent national attitudes towards whistleblowing. This paper aims to examine various cultural attitudes which have contributed to the common understanding of whistleblowing, under the directive.

Design/methodology/approach
The rhetoric on whistleblowing from a combination of business and national cultures is examined herein. A focus is cast on the information technology sector, which has traditionally protected trade secrecy over whistleblowing, under the guise of protecting of innovation. Moreover, the juxtaposition of American and German employment culture is testimony to the discrepancy in national narratives.

Findings
The WBD is both a symptom and a yardstick of modern employment culture in Europe. There are crucial clashes with trade secrecy which the directive has not resolved as well as an acknowledgement of the paradigm of legal thought which the directive pushes.

Originality/value
By reference to both business and national culture, this paper highlights the heterogenous conception of whistleblowing which the directive aims to reconcile. Whilst a vast amount of literature has covered isolated criticism of the WBD, a wider lens has not been cast to consider the pervasive influence of specific aspects on business culture.

Long‐term reproductive costs of snare injuries in a keystone terrestrial by‐catch species
Authors: Benhaiem S. , Kaidatzi S. , Hofer H. , East M. L. 
Published: June 2022

AbstractExtensive bushmeat hunting is a major threat to wildlife conservation worldwide, particularly when unselective methods such as wire snares kill target and non‐target species (by‐catch). Animals that escape from snares have injuries of varying severity, with effects on performance that are largely unknown, as most studies typically focus on immediate mortality caused by snaring. Here, we assessed the life‐history costs of debilitating snare injuries in individually known female spotted hyenas Crocuta crocuta in three clans in the Serengeti National Park, Tanzania. This keystone predator is a regular by‐catch of illegal bushmeat hunting of herbivores in the Serengeti ecosystem. We monitored individuals which escaped from snares between May 1987 and March 2020 and survived long enough to return to their clan territories from commuting trips in the park and surrounding protected areas. Snares that inflicted debilitating injuries on females did not reduce longevity but did delay age at first reproduction and reduced both litter size and offspring survival to the age of 1 year. This long‐term decrease in reproductive performance likely resulted from increased inflammatory and immune responses to the snare injury and/or a decreased ability to travel the long distances necessary to feed on migratory herbivores. While our results are based on a relatively small sample of females with debilitating injuries, they suggest that the total population‐level costs of wire snares in terrestrial by‐catch species may be underestimated and that future studies may need to account for the potential reproductive costs of sublethal snare injuries.
Using biological invasions to improve plant defense theory
Authors: Endriss Stacy B. , Alba Christina , Hufbauer Ruth A. 
Published: June 2022

AbstractTheory to explain how plants defend themselves against herbivorous insects is rich, but can be difficult to test. Biological invasions provide unique opportunities to test and improve upon plant defense theory, as plants experience predictable shifts in insect herbivory after introduction to a new range. Here, we use an invasion to evaluate the power of three cornerstone hypotheses to predict the evolution of defense against herbivorous insects. These three hypotheses represent increasing refinements of classic plant‐insect theory regarding optimal defense, and each rests on the same three assumptions: that introduced plant populations escape natural enemies, that insect herbivory reduces plant fitness, and that putative defenses decrease herbivory. These assumptions remain untested in most invasions, which likely contributes to conflicting support for many plant defense hypotheses. We provide evidence that these assumptions are met in common mullein, Verbascum thapsus L. (Scrophulariaceae), which we propose can thus be used as a model system to test plant defense theory. We find that the hypothesis that integrates predictions of within‐plant optimal defense theory and the evolutionary dilemma model (i.e., the ‘shifting defense allocation’ hypothesis) provides strong insights into both invasion and evolution of plant defense. Specifically, we show that introduced populations that escape important specialist herbivores increase the concentration of secondary compounds in high‐quality tissue in particular, in this case protecting valuable young leaves from generalist herbivores that dominate in the introduced range. We would not have detected this shift without exploring within‐plant defense allocation across native and introduced populations, a task rarely undertaken when assessing evolutionary change in plant defenses. This finding provides broad insight into how native and introduced plant populations alike may respond to shifts in herbivore pressure. We close by highlighting future directions of inquiry using introduced plant populations to develop and test plant defense theory more generally.

AbstractIntroductionPresence of von Willebrand factor (VWF) in FVIII concentrates offers protection against neutralizing inhibitors in haemophilia A (HA). Whether this protection is more evident in plasma‐derived (pd) FVIII/VWF or recombinant (r) FVIII concentrates remains controversial.AimWe investigated the protection exerted by VWF against FVIII inhibitors in an in vivo mouse model of HA exposed to pdFVIII/VWF or to various rFVIII concentrates.MethodsHaemophilia A mice received the different FVIII concentrates after administration of vehicle or an inhibitory IgG purified from a commercial pool of HA plasma with inhibitors and FVIII:C recoveries were measured. Furthermore, using a novel clinically oriented ex vivo approach, Bethesda inhibitory activities (BU) of a commercial pool of HA plasma with inhibitors were assessed using normal plasma, or plasma from severe HA patients, without inhibitors, after treatment with the same concentrates.Resultsin vivo studies showed that pdFVIII/VWF offers markedly higher protection against inhibitors when compared with any of the FVIII products without VWF. More importantly, in the ex vivo studies, plasma from patients treated with pdFVIII/VWF showed higher protection against inhibitors (P values ranging .05‐.001) in comparison with that observed in plasma from patients who received FVIII products without VWF, regardless of the type of product evaluated.ConclusionData indicate that FVIII+VWF complexes assembled in the circulation after rFVIII infusion are not equivalent to the naturally formed complex in pdFVIII/VWF. Therefore, rFVIII infused into HA patients with inhibitors would be less protected by VWF than the FVIII in pdFVIII/VWF concentrates.

AbstractTumour necrosis factor (TNF) receptor‐associated factor (TRAF) is a receptor protein that has important functions in the immune system. Nonetheless, there have been few reports of traf genes in teleost fishes. The present study aimed to identify the traf genes from the genomic information of yellow catfish (Pelteobagrus fulvidraco). Eight traf genes were identified and named, which are distributed on different chromosomes but have similar conserved protein domains. Phylogenetic and syntenic analyses demonstrated conservation of traf genes during evolution. In addition, yellow catfish has the relatively rare traf1 and traf5 genes. Gene structure and motif analysis revealed the homology and distribution diversity of the traf genes. Quantitative real‐time reverse transcription PCR was used to study the expression patterns of traf genes in healthy fish tissues and after infection by Aeromonas hydrophila. The results demonstrated significant changes in traf gene expression, indicating a potential role in innate immunity.

Published: June 2022

AbstractIntroductionAn occupational stress was reported as an inhibitor of optimal performance among nurses. Emotional intelligence (EI) has emerged as a successful behavioral buffer against occupational stress and as a facilitator for better performance. This study aimed to investigate the potential relationship between nurses' EI and their work performance; and to examine the mediating role of occupational stress.DesignA predictive correlational design was adopted.MethodSelf‐reported questionnaires were administered to 391 full‐time bedside nurses recruited from one of the big hospitals in Saudi Arabia, between April and June 2021. Data were coded and analyzed using IBM SPSS version 25.0. Simple and multiple linear regression analyses were used to test the hypotheses. The significance level for all tests was set at p ≤ 0.05. Bonferroni correction method was used to control the family‐wise error rate.ResultsThe findings revealed an affirmative association between nurses' EI and work performance (β = 0.69, p < 0.001; r2 = 0.483). Additionally, an inverse association was established between nurses' EI and their perception of occupational stress (β = −0.54, p < 0.001; r2 = 0.286), and between nurses' perception of occupational stress and work performance (β = −0.52; p < 0.001; r2 = 0.226). Additionally, our results showed that occupational stress played a mediating role in the relationship between nurses' EI and work performance.ConclusionThis study presented a novel framework that includes two factors affecting work performance among nurses in Saudi Arabia. Our results suggest that EI is vital for effective work performance among nurses. Additionally, EI was found to be a useful coping strategy against occupational stress.Clinical RelevanceEI has been described as a valuable asset for better performance and effective group cohesiveness among nurses. Optimal nurses᾽ performance leads to meeting patients᾽ needs and organizational goals.
Maturation of the E. coli Glu2, Ile1, and Ala1B tRNAs utilizes a complex processing pathway

Published: June 2022

AbstractDespite significant progress in understanding the diversity of tRNA processing pathways in Escherichia coli, the mechanism for the maturation of tRNAs encoded within the rRNA operons has not received much attention. Here, we show that the Glu2, Ile1, and Ala1B tRNAs, encoded by 10 genes located between the 16S and 23S rRNAs in the seven rRNA operons, are matured via a RNase E‐independent processing pathway that utilizes at least six different enzymes. It has been shown that the Glu2 and Ile1‐Ala1B pre‐tRNAs released by initial RNase III cleavages of the 30S primary rRNA transcripts retain extended 5′‐leader (35–139 nt) and 3′‐trailer (166–185 nt) sequences. However, the 5′ maturation of the tRNAs by RNase P is inhibited until the trailer sequences are shortened to 1–4 nucleotides, initially by a second RNase III cleavage at 31–42 nucleotides downstream of the CCA determinant followed by exonucleolytic trimming. The RNase III cleaved Glu2 and Ile1‐Ala1B trailer fragments are degraded via PAP I‐ dependent exonucleolytic decay. Compared to the six previously characterized tRNA processing pathways, maturation of the Glu2, Ile1, and Ala1B tRNAs is considerably more complex and appears to be distinct from what occurs in Gram‐positive bacteria.
