Computer-guided buccal cortical plate separation for removal of calcified benign odontogenic tumors affecting the mandibular angle region
Authors: Omara Mohammed , Gouda Ayman , Ali Sherif 
Published: September 2022

Abstract

Purpose

Surgical removal of intra-bony calcific benign lesions is technically challenging regarding its accessibility, proximity to vital structures, and deteriorating effect on the remaining bony structures.

Methods
Computer-guided buccal cortical plate separation was performed for ten patients using patient-specific osteotomy locating guides and pre-bent plates. The guide was designed to outline the osteotomy, the buccal cortical plate was separated, the lesion was removed, and finally, the pre-bent plates were used to fix the separated cortex.

Results
Surgical procedures were uneventful for all patients, operation time was 39.5 ± 13.01 min, postoperative pain decreased within the follow-up time intervals, and there was a statistical significant difference between the time intervals (P value < 0.001). Edema and trismus were acceptable. One case showed nerve affection which resolved after 4 weeks.

Conclusion
Computer-guided buccal cortical plate separation for removal of intra-bony calcified benign lesions provides a promising approach, especially for inexperienced surgeons.

Published: September 2022

Abstract
Background
Classical pterional appoach for temporal surgeries may cause atrophy and dysfunction of temporalis, injury to the facial nerve, and unnecessary cortical exposure. As an alternative to the classical pterional approach for such surgeries, we hereby describe an mini-temporal approach which reduces these risks and proven to be practical in neurological surgeries.

Material and methods
In the mini-temporal incision design, the frontal end of the incision never surpassed the hairline at the level of temporal line, and a one-layer skin-galea-muscle flap was detached from the cranium, effectively avoiding the injuries of facial nerve. The surgical bone window was completely located underneath the temporalis muscle, allowing it to be completely repositioned postoperatively.

Results
We demonstrated the application of mini-temporal approach in a variety of temporal region tumors, which can be applied to complete successful resective surgeries while effectively reducing injuries to extra-temporal cortex, temporalis, and facial nerve. There were no postoperative complications related to extra-temporal cortical damage, atrophy of temporalis, or injury to the facial nerve.

Conclusion
The mini-temporal approach can effectively shorten the time of craniotomy and closure, decrease the size of bony removal, increase the restoration of temporalis during closure, and lower the chance of facial nerve injury. Therefore, it improves cosmetic outcomes and reduces the risk of unintentional extra-temporal cortical injury, which fully embodies the minimally invasive principle in neurosurgery.

Published: September 2022

Abstract
Background
Patient-reported outcome (PRO) measures may be used in telehealth for the clinical assessment of mental health and diabetes distress, which are important aspects in diabetes care, but valid and reliable instruments on these topics are necessary. We aimed to evaluate the test–retest reliability and measurement error of the Danish versions of the WHO-Five Well-being Index (WHO-5) and Problem Areas in Diabetes (PAID) questionnaires used in a PRO-based telehealth intervention among patients with type 1 diabetes. A further aim was to evaluate the test–retest reliability of single items concerning patients’ symptom burden and general health status.

Methods
Outpatients with type 1 diabetes from the Steno Diabetes Center Aarhus, Aarhus University Hospital, Denmark, were enrolled from April 2019 to June 2020. Patients aged ≥ 18 who had type 1 diabetes for > 1 year, internet access, and the ability to understand, read, and write Danish were included. Intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC) and weighted Kappa values were used to assess test–retest reliability, and measurement error was assessed by estimating the minimal detectable change (MDC).

Results
A total of 146/255 (57%) patients completed the web questionnaire twice. The median response time between the two-time points was five days. The ICC of the WHO-5 scale was 0.87 (95% CI 0.82–0.90), and MDC was 18.56 points (95% CI 16.65–20.99). The ICC of the PAID scale was 0.89 (95% CI 0.84–0.92), and MDC was 11.86 points (95% CI 10.46–13.70). Overall, test–retest reliability of single symptoms and general health status items was substantial.

Conclusions
The WHO-5 and PAID questionnaires, and single symptoms and general health status items showed substantial test–retest reliability among patients with type 1 diabetes. Measurement error of the PAID questionnaire was considered acceptable; however, a larger measurement error of the WHO-5 questionnaire was observed. Further research is recommended to explore these findings.

Published: September 2022

Abstract
Background
The Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy-Fatigue (FACIT-F) scale has demonstrated good internal consistency and responsiveness to changes in clinical status among patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS). We aimed to further evaluate the psychometric properties of the FACIT-F scale in adult patients with AS.

Methods
Measurement properties of the FACIT-F scale were evaluated using data from tofacitinib phase 2/3 (NCT01786668/NCT03502616) studies in adult patients with active AS.

Results
Second-order confirmatory factor modeling supported the measurement structure of the FACIT-F scale (Bentler’s comparative fit index ≥ 0.91), and FACIT-F demonstrated excellent internal consistency (Cronbach’s coefficient α ≥ 0.88) and test–retest reliability (Intraclass Correlation Coefficient ≥ 0.75). Correlation coefficients between FACIT-F and other patient-reported outcomes generally exceeded 0.40, supporting convergent validity. Meaningful within-patient change was estimated as 3.1–6.3 for FACIT-F total score, and 1.4–2.8 and 1.7–3.6 for FACIT-F Experience and Impact domain scores, respectively. Large (effect size ≥ 1.17 standard deviation units), statistically significant differences in FACIT-F domain/total scores between ‘no disease activity’ (Patient Global Assessment of Disease Activity [PtGA] = 0) and ‘very active disease’ (PtGA = 10) patient groups supported known-groups validity. Ability to detect change was evidenced by an approximately linear relationship between changes in FACIT-F and PtGA scores.

Conclusions
FACIT-F is a reliable and valid measure for evaluating fatigue in adult patients with active AS.

Published: September 2022

Abstract
Background
In palliative oncology settings, electronic patient-reported outcome (PRO) assessment can play an important role in supporting clinical activities for clinicians and patients. This scoping review aims to map the technological innovation of electronic patient-reported outcome measures (e-PROMs) in cancer palliative care and how PRO data collected through e-PROMs can influence the monitoring and management of symptoms and enable better communication between health professionals and patients.

Methods
A scoping review study was designed according to the Arksey and O'Malley framework. Medline, Embase, Web of Science, SCOPUS, PsycINFO and CINAHL and gray literature sources were consulted. The inclusion criteria were people over 18 years old receiving palliative and/or end-of-life care using e-PROMs.

Results
Thirteen primary studies were included: nine quantitative studies, two qualitative studies, and two mixed-method studies. The recently developed software that supports e-PROMs allows patients to receive feedback on their symptoms, helps clinicians prioritize care needs and monitors patients’ conditions as their symptoms change. Electronic PRO data prompt difficult, end-of-life communication between clinicians and patients to better organize care in the last phase of life.

Conclusion
This work shows that electronic PRO data assessment provides valuable tools for patients’ well-being and the management of symptoms; only one study reported conflicting results. However, with studies lacking on how clinicians can use these tools to improve communication with patients, more research is needed.
Misconceiving patient reported outcome measures (PROMs) as primarily a reporting requirement rather than a quality improvement tool: perceptions of independent healthcare sector stakeholders in the UK
Authors: Anderson Michael , Pitchforth Emma , Vallance-Owen Andrew , Mossialos Elias , Millner Paul , Fistein Jon 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
Background
The independent healthcare sector in the UK collects PROMs for several surgical procedures, but implementation has been challenging. We aimed to understand the enablers and barriers to PROMs implementation in the independent healthcare sector in the UK.

Method
Between January and May 2021, we remotely conducted semi-structured interviews with hospital consultants, hospital managers and other clinical staff using a topic guide developed from an implementation science framework called the Theoretical Domains Framework (TDF).

Results
We interviewed 6 hospital consultants, 5 hospital managers, and 3 other clinical staff (1 nurse and 2 physiotherapists) across 8 hospitals. Common barriers included: the perception that PROMs are predominantly a reporting requirement rather than a quality improvement tool, absence of feedback mechanisms for PROMs data for clinicians, poor awareness of PROMs among healthcare professionals and the public, absence of direction or commitment from leadership, and limited support from hospital consultants. Common enablers included: regular feedback of PROMs data to clinicians, designating roles and responsibilities, formally embedding PROMs collection into patient pathways, and involvement of hospital consultants in developing strategies to improve PROMs uptake.

Conclusion
To support PROMs implementation, independent hospitals need to develop long-term organisational strategies that involve sustained leadership commitment, goals or targets, training opportunities to staff, and regular feedback of PROMs data at clinical or governance meetings. The primary purpose of PROMs needs to be reframed to independent healthcare sector stakeholders as a quality improvement tool rather than a reporting requirement.
A review on intraspecific karyomorphological variations of m chromosomes in family Libellulidae (Anisoptera: Odonata)
Authors: Walia Gurinder Kaur , Singh Hardeep 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
Background
Family Libellulidae is one of the largest families of suborder Anisoptera (Odonata) including 1035 species of 144 genera throughout the world. Libellulids are distributed all around the globe, while some are cosmopolitan and some are endemic. Cytogenetic data pertains to 258 libellulid species and chromosome number varies from 2n = 6–47. Majority of the species possess 2n (♂) = 25, which is the modal number of the family. The m chromosomes are considered as the fragments of autosomes and are present in 78% of studied libellulid species.

Main body
Presently, 29 libellulid species have been catalogued based on various research articles related to cytogenetic studies regarding intraspecific chromosomal variations especially due to the m chromosomes within the same or different geographical populations of the species.

Conclusions
Odonata possess holokinetic chromosomes and m chromosomes are the fragments of autosome. The break can occur at any time, at any place, which is responsible for variations in the size of m chromosomes. These variations also depend on the geographical distribution of the species which persists over generations by the action of natural selection and also play role in speciation.

Published: September 2022

AbstractThe International Year of Quinoa (IYQ) (2013) showcased quinoa to the world and generated a rapid expansion in international demand for quinoa. It also increased the level of consumption in Peru. Peruvian ethnic identity reflects the food culture of origin. This research aims to determine the relationship between ethnic identity and other Theory of Planned Behavior factors on quinoa consumption intention and frequency of consumers in Top Lima and Modern Metropolitan Lima, Peru. A survey of 381 respondents was conducted between April and September 2017, and structural equation modeling was used to analyze the data. Contrary to expectations, intention and frequency of consumption of quinoa were negatively affected by “ethnic identity” (p < 0.05). This result is related to the promotion by the IYQ and Marca Perú (brand name Peru) and the gastronomic boom.

Published: September 2022

Abstract
Background
Anxiety and depression are more common among university students than in the general population. It is reported internationally that the COVID-19 pandemic increased the prevalence of anxiety and depression among students. This study aimed to measure the prevalence of anxiety and depression among university students in Palestine and to explore the association between anxiety and depression during the COVID-19 pandemic. A cross-sectional questionnaire-based descriptive study was carried out on university students. The Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale (GAD-7) and the Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression (CES-D) scale were used to evaluate anxiety and depression, respectively. Chi-square was used to evaluate the risk factors associated with the levels of anxiety and depression. The association between anxiety and depression was evaluated using Pearson correlation.

Results
A total of 1049 students were enrolled in the study. The prevalence of depression among them was 55.8%, 26.4%, and 9.8% for severe, moderate, and mild depression, respectively. Depression symptoms were significantly variable based on students’ field and year of study, sleeping period, smoking, and food source. The prevalence of anxiety was 16.1%, 30.7%, and 36.1% for severe, moderate, and mild anxiety, respectively. Anxiety symptoms were significantly variable based on students’ gender, year of study, sleeping period, smoking, and place of residence. A strong positive correlation was observed between the CES-D and GAD-7 scores (R = 0.707).

Conclusion
Palestinian university students suffer from elevated levels of anxiety and depression during the COVID-19 pandemic. This necessitates the need for strategies by stakeholders to take immediate and appropriate interventions.

Published: September 2022

Abstract
Background
Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a childhood neurodevelopmental disorder that persists into adulthood. ADHD is a well-known risk factor for substance use disorder (SUD). However, the actual contribution of comorbidity is largely unknown. The current study investigated the prevalence of ADHD in a sample of abstinent patients compared to healthy controls.
Compared to 51 healthy controls, 51 patients seeking medical treatment for SUD were abstinent from any substance for at least 1 month, interviewed by the use of the ICD-10 symptom checklist, the Social Classification Scale, the Addiction Severity Index, Conners adult ADHD Rating Scales Self-Report (CAARS-S:L), and the Kiddie-Sads-Present and Lifetime Version (K-SADS-PL).

Results
Using CAARS-S:L, the ADHD index showed that 9 subjects (17.6%) were diagnosed with adult ADHD. Using K-SADS-PL, 8 of the participants (15.7%) were found to have an adult ADHD diagnosis. Lower scores of the ADHD index are related to increased patients’ age, while increased scores of the ADHD index are related to more alcohol-related problems of the patients. The strongest predicting factors of increased ADHD index were drug problems and legal status.

Conclusions
The current study provides evidence of an increased diagnosis of adult ADHD in patients with substance use disorder, regardless of the type of substance abuse.
Parasitic limb excision in a neonate: a rare occurrence
Authors: Habib Murad , Chaudhary Muhammad Amjad 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
Background
Parasitic limb is a rare congenital anomaly. Its incidence is less than 1 in 1 million live births. It refers to the type of conjoined twin in which tissues of an incompletely formed twin (parasite) are attached to and dependent upon a fully developed twin. Since it is a rare anomaly, all the cases should be reported.

Case presentation
This study reports a 3-day-old neonate admitted to the Children's Hospital Emergency. Her initial complaints were an extra limb arising from her lower back. She was born as a result of cousin marriage and was not diagnosed antenatally. The limb was attached to the lower lumbar region (L4, L5, S1). The limb was hypoplastic, and the baby was unable to hold it against the gravity but she cried when it was pinched suggesting pain sensations. Preoperative diagnostic workup was done, and parasitic limb was excised.

Conclusion
Every child with parasitic limb is a surgical dilemma. Thus, a multi-disciplinary approach and a carefully planned surgery with meticulous dissection can result in complete excision of a parasitic limb without any complications.

Published: September 2022

Background: Intelligent manufacturing is perceived as a manufacturing mode with powerful learning and cognitive capabilities empowered by information technologies such as the internet of things, edge computing, and cloud computing. The mode can be used to address the problems of low intelligence and poor timeliness of traditional process planning. Methods: The framework includes the multi-objective process planning method based on real-time data, and the process closed-loop optimization mechanism of “cloud-based theoretical process planning plus edge MEC (multi-access edge computing) side online simulation verification and real-time feedback adjustment”, which realizes online process planning and iterative optimization in mass customization. Results: The feasibility of the online analysis method for thin-walled part milling deformation is verified by taking the finishing process of aerospace thin-walled parts as an example. The experimental results show that the simulation time on the single analysis step is reduced from 6s to 1s, and the accuracy rate is 86.9%. Conclusions: A new intelligent process planning theoretical framework integrating with online process planning and autonomous collaborative control, namely, digital twin and multi-access edge computing process planning (DT-MEC-PP) is proposed in this paper.
What Makes Agility Fragile? A Dynamic Theory of Organizational Rigidity
Authors: Li Jin , Mukherjee Arijit , Vasconcelos Luis 
Published: September 2022

We present a novel explanation of why organizations tend to lose their agility over time despite their efforts to foster worker initiative in adapting to local information. Worker initiative ensures efficiency but requires strong incentives. When incentives are relational and the firm faces shocks to its credibility, it may adopt standardized work processes that ignore local information but yield satisfactory (though suboptimal) performance. The adoption of such standardized processes helps the firm survive the current shock but inflicts inefficiencies in the future. Although the firm may recover, it becomes more vulnerable to future shocks, and consequently, more reliant on the standardized work procedures. This paper was accepted by Joshua Gans, business strategy.
Disentangling Reputational Effects in Alliances
Authors: Costa Afonso Almeida , Costa Luís Almeida , Vasconcelos Luís 
Published: September 2022

An important consequence of an alliance is that partnering firms combine their reputations by associating them to jointly implemented projects. However, an often-overlooked aspect is that those reputations may themselves change due to both the announcement of the firms’ decision to form the alliance and the performance of joint projects. We develop a formal model that provides an integrated perspective of these reputational effects, while allowing us to isolate and characterize each of them. We find that the way in which the firms’ competence levels affect their decision to form an alliance determines how the firms’ reputations evolve following the announcement of the alliance and the performance of joint projects. This indicates that the analysis of the reputational effects of an alliance requires understanding the firms’ alliance formation decision in the first place. We show, for instance, that a firm’s reputation may decrease following the decision to form an alliance, and that the impact of project performance on the reputations of alliance partners can be very asymmetric. Among other things, our analysis implies that a firm’s desirability as an alliance partner does not necessarily increase with its reputation and level of competence.Funding: A. Almeida Costa and L.
