Published: February 2022

AbstractBackgroundCytology of serous effusions is an important diagnostic tool for the diagnosis of cancer, staging, and prognosis of the patient. Herein, we retrospectively applied the International System for Reporting Serous Fluid Cytopathology (TIS) and provided the corresponding risks of malignancy (ROMs).MethodsPleural, pericardial, and peritoneal effusion samples were retrieved from the archives of our department and reclassified according to the TIS. The ROM for each category was calculated based on available surgical follow‐up.ResultsA total of 3790 effusions were studied. Pleural samples (1292) were reclassified as follows: 27 (2.1%) as non‐diagnostic (ND), 1014 (78.5%) as negative for malignancy (NFM), 86 (6.6%) as atypia of undetermined significance (AUS), 29 (2.3%) as suspicious of malignancy (SFM), and 136 (10.5%) as malignant (M). Pericardial samples (241) were reclassified as follows: 4 (1.6%) as ND, 173 (71.8%) as NFM, 10 (4.1%) as AUS, 7 (3%) as SFM, and 47 (19.5%), as M. Peritoneal cases (2257) were re‐categorised as follows: 31 (1.4%) as ND, 1897 (84%) as NFM, 39 (1.7%) as AUS, 53 (2.4%) as SFM, and 237 (10.5%) as M. The respective ROM values for each category were 18.5%, 15%, 45.3%, 93%, and 100% in pleural effusions; 25%, 13.2%, 35%, 100%, and 100% in pericardial effusions; and 19.3%, 10.4%, 43.5%, 100%, and 100% in peritoneal effusions.ConclusionsPleural, pericardial, and peritoneal cytology show high specificity and moderate sensitivity in the evaluation of serous effusions. The ROMs reported in our study were mostly concordant with those published according to the TIS.
Les retombées du COVID‐19 sur le marché du travail: qui en souffre, qui y échappe, avec quel effet sur les inégalités?
Authors: SOARES Sergei , BERG Janine 
Published: February 2022

RésuméFace au COVID‐19, les autorités nationales ont adopté des mesures de nature et de portée variées, avec des effets notables sur les marchés du travail, notamment pour certains groupes. Les auteurs utilisent les enquêtes sur la population active de sept pays à revenu intermédiaire ou élevé pour observer les transitions professionnelles au premier semestre de 2020 et comparer la situation avec la même période de 2019. Ils concluent que la volatilité est plus faible dans les pays qui ont choisi de soutenir les revenus en subventionnant les salaires plutôt que par d'autres moyens, mais que la pandémie a creusé les inégalités partout.
L'effet du COVID‐19 selon le sexe et le revenu: l'exemple des Philippines
Authors: LAVADO Rouselle F. , NOWACKA Keiko , RAITZER David A. , RODGERS Yana van der Meulen , ZVEGLICH Joseph E. 
Published: February 2022

RésuméLes Philippines ont souffert plus que la plupart des autres pays en développement de la pandémie de COVID‐19 et des restrictions concomitantes, à savoir, notamment, un confinement très strict et une fermeture prolongée des écoles. Les auteurs proposent un modèle original pour estimer l'effet de ces mesures sur le travail, le revenu et la pauvreté selon le sexe et la région. Une étude de cas leur permet d’établir par ailleurs que les fermetures d’école ont nui à l'emploi dans l'enseignement privé et au revenu des parents de jeunes enfants. Ils concluent que la pandémie a eu des retombées économiques sans précédent et pénalisé les femmes.
Une période exceptionnelle? Analyse comparée sur l'effet de la crise du COVID‐19 et de la crise financière mondiale de 2008–2009 sur les marchés du travail
Authors: VERICK Sher , SCHMIDT‐KLAU Dorothea , LEE Sangheon 
Published: February 2022

RésuméLes auteurs montrent que les marchés du travail ont davantage souffert des effets de la pandémie de COVID‐19 en 2020 que de ceux de la crise financière en 2009. Les mesures de confinement ont joué un rôle déterminant. La crise a donc touché plus durement les économies à revenu intermédiaire, certains secteurs comme l'hébergement et la restauration, et certains groupes comme les jeunes femmes. Les auteurs établissent également que, cette fois, la hausse des flux concerne surtout la mobilité vers l'inactivité (plus que vers le chômage). Ils affirment que les pouvoirs publics doivent maintenir leurs politiques de soutien pour que la reprise profite à tous.
La participation des partenaires sociaux à la gestion de la crise du COVID‐19: le dialogue social tripartite en Espagne, en Italie et au Portugal
Authors: CANALDA CRIADO Sergio 
Published: February 2022

RésuméLes partenaires sociaux ont‐ils été associés à la gestion de la crise du COVID‐19? Pour le savoir, l'auteur observe les pratiques tripartites en Espagne, en Italie et au Portugal en 2020. Il recherche les variables économiques et politiques susceptibles d'avoir contribué au renouveau du dialogue social tripartite observé dans ces pays, par rapport à la crise économique précédente. L'abandon des politiques d'austérité et un sentiment de responsabilité partagé par les partenaires sociaux et les gouvernements semblent avoir contribué à la conclusion de plusieurs accords, de nature et de portée variables, mais qui permettent de conclure au renforcement du dialogue social au plus haut niveau.
Labour segmentation and outmigration in Japan: Evidence using firm–worker matching data
Authors: Liu Yang 
Published: February 2022

AbstractDeterminants of foreigner outmigration from host countries have attracted considerable attention. However, minimal research examines the influence of firms’ working environments. Although the third largest economy, Japan's inability to attract skilled foreign labour remains a concern. This study is the first to investigate the effect of Japanese firms’ labour segmentation practices on foreign workers’ outmigration intentions. Segmentation refers to firms’ concentration on foreigner‐specific skills, regarding foreign labour as complementary to local workers. This is widely practised because of immigration policy's avoidance of substituting Japanese labour or causing unemployment. The findings suggest that although foreigner‐specific skills are highly valued in Japan, segmentation could significantly increase foreign workers’ outmigration intention. The lifetime employment system in Japan, job satisfaction and original migration motivations also affect outmigration. The results indicate that Japanese policies encouraging firms to employ foreign workers as complementary may harm its attractiveness to skilled foreign labour.
Managing bank performance under COVID‐19: A novel inverse DEA efficiency approach
Authors: Boubaker Sabri , Le Tu D.Q. , Ngo Thanh 
Published: February 2022

AbstractThe evolution of the COVID‐19 pandemic is highly unpredictable; however, its impacts are limited to neither a single sector nor a single country. This study evaluates the performance and efficiency of 49 Islamic banks across 10 countries during 2019–2020 to assess how those banks can preserve their performance and remain resilient in the aftermath of the COVID‐19 pandemic. Using the conventional inverse data envelopment analysis (InvDEA) approach, we show that because of reductions in their outputs, 31 out of the 49 banks studied would need to reduce their inputs so that their efficiency can remain unchanged. However, we show that only 10 banks need to make such adjustments to maintain their efficiency levels using our proposed InvDEA efficiency model. The adjustment for those 10 banks would help in reducing more inputs, suggesting more cost savings, and improving the overall efficiency of the examined banks, compared with the other 31 banks.

AbstractThe application of all‐inorganic perovskite CsPbBr3 nanocrystal glasses recently has enjoyed increasing and diverse attention due to their excellent optical properties. However, a full understanding of their formation process and mechanism still remains uncharted. In an attempt to develop and improve the properties of these glasses, it is significant to explore the formation of CsPbBr3 nanocrystals (NCs) in it. Herein, a borophosphate‐based precursor glass with bright blue emission was prepared by melt quenching, and CsPbBr3 NCs were precipitated in it by water induction; the glass powders’ photoluminescence gradually changed from blue to green (478–525 nm). It is proven that the blue luminescence originated from the combination of CsBr and oxygen vacancies in the glass, and the crystal transformation mechanism of CsBr to CsPbBr3 in glass is proposed; the potential application in anti‐counterfeiting is explored based on its special properties. The findings of this study are significant to the basic research for the CsPbBr3 NCs glasses, and also contribute new insights toward their application in different fields.
The impact of economic nationalism in Europe on the returns to rivals of cross‐border M&A bids
Authors: Powell Ronan , Prendergast Sarah , Sharma Ruchira 
Published: February 2022

AbstractWe examine the wealth effects of economic nationalism (EN) on domestic and foreign rivals of takeover targets using a novel sample of government‐blocked EU cross‐border takeover bids. We report a significant net contagion effect at bid announcement from regression models resulting in a net gain of €3 million for each rival, on average, with domestic rivals enjoying an additional gain of €10 million. Government intervention results in negative returns, which become even more negative at bid resolution, and the adverse effects are felt by both domestic and foreign rivals. All rivals lose a value of €14 million over the total bid period with domestic rivals losing an additional €17.5 million, on average. The source of the losses are not mutually exclusive and can be due to several factors, including lower future takeover likelihood, failure to capture efficiency gains or loss of economic rents. We show that EN has a significant cost, which is not confined to the EU blocking country.

Published: February 2022

AbstractBackgroundHospital at home (HaH) provides hospital‐level care at home as a substitute for traditional hospital care. Interest in HaH is increasing markedly. While multiple studies of HaH have demonstrated that HaH provides safe, high‐quality, cost‐effective care, there remain many unanswered research questions. The objective of this study is to develop a research agenda to guide future HaH‐related research.MethodsSurvey of attendees of first World HaH Congress 2019 for input on research for the future HaH development. Selection and ranking of important topic areas for future HaH‐related research. Development of research domains and research questions and issues using grounded theory approach, supplemented by focused literature reviews.Results240 conference attendees responded to the survey (response rate, 55.3%). The majority were from Europe (64%) and North America (11%) and were HaH program leaders (29%), HaH physicians (27%), and researchers (13%). Nine research domains for future HaH research were identified: 1) definition of the HaH model of care; 2) the HaH clinical model; 3) measurement and outcomes of HaH; 4) patient and caregiver experience with HaH; 5) education and training of HaH clinicians; 6) technology and telehealth for HaH; 7) regulatory and payment issues in HaH; 8) implementation and scaling of HaH; and 9) ethical issues in HaH. Key research issues and questions were identified for each domain.ConclusionsWhile highly evidence‐based, unanswered research questions regarding HaH remain, focusing research efforts on the domains identified in this study will serve to improve HaH for all key HaH stakeholders.

Published: February 2022

AbstractBackgroundSince PCV13 was recommended in 2014, the characteristics of nursing home (NH) residents (and their facilities) recorded by facilities as not up‐to‐date with pneumococcal vaccination upon admission were unknown, and it is unknown if they received PCV13 in the NH.MethodsWe conducted a retrospective cohort of NH residents of Centers for Medicare and Medicaid (CMS)‐certified skilled nursing facilities from October 1, 2014, through September 22, 2018. CMS' Minimum Data Set (MDS) was linked to Medicare Part B Carrier claims to corroborate pneumococcal vaccination up‐to‐date status in the MDS with pneumococcal vaccination claims. The primary outcome of interest was vaccination with PCV13 versus nonreceipt among those identified as “not up to date” according to facility MDS records. We estimated generalized estimating equation (GEE) models.ResultsOf the 1,459,814 residents recorded not up‐to‐date, (78.2%) had no Part B claims for PCV13 before or in the NH, the majority of whom (71.5%) were reported to have refused the vaccine when offered. Only 1.3% subsequently received PCV13 within 99 days after NH admission. In adjusted analyses, residents less likely to receive PCV13 in the NH than those who did included: residence in a for‐profit facility (OR: 0.94 [95% CI: 0.89, 0.99]); male (OR: 0.92 [95% CI:0.89, 0.95]); black race (OR: 0.71 (95%CI: 0.66, 0.77); Hispanic ethnicity (OR: 0.69 [95%CI: 0.59, 0.75]); severely cognitively impaired compared with any lesser degree of impairment; had diabetes (OR: 0.93 [95%CI: 0.89, 0.97]); long‐stay (≥100 days) compared with short‐stay residents (OR: 0.17 (95%CI: 0.15, 0.20); and did not receive the influenza vaccine (OR: 0.74 (95%CI: 0.71, 0.77).ConclusionsDue to refusals, few NH residents recorded not up‐to‐date on pneumococcal vaccinations from 2014 to 2018 received PCV13 within three months of admission. Strategies to promote newly recommended PCV15 or PCV20 vaccination upon NH admission may be needed.

Published: February 2022

AbstractBackgroundAccumulating evidence indicates that behaviors in Alzheimer's disease and related dementias could result in incarceration. Yet, the proportion of persons diagnosed with dementia and mild cognitive impairment (MCI) before they were incarcerated is largely unknown. By leveraging a national sample of mid‐ to late‐life adults who were incarcerated, we determined the prevalence of dementia and MCI before their incarceration.MethodsIn this current study, participants were Medicare‐eligible U.S. veterans who transitioned from incarceration to the community in mid‐ to late‐life from October 1, 2012, to September 30, 2018, after having been incarcerated for ≤10 consecutive years (N = 17,962). Medical claims data were used to determine clinical diagnoses of dementia and MCI up to three years before incarceration. Demographics, comorbidities, and duration of incarceration among those with dementia and MCI were compared to those with neither diagnosis.ResultsParticipants were >97% male, 65% non‐Hispanic white, 30% non‐Hispanic black, and 3.3% had a diagnosis of either dementia (2.5%) or MCI (0.8%) before their most recent incarceration. Individuals with MCI or dementia diagnoses were older, were more likely to be non‐Hispanic white, had more medical and psychiatric comorbidities, and experienced homelessness and traumatic brain injury at higher rates than those with neither diagnosis. Average duration of incarceration was significantly shorter among those with MCI (201.8 [±248.0] days) or dementia (312.8 [±548.3] days), as compared to those with neither diagnosis (497.0 [±692.7] days) (p < 0.001).ConclusionsThese findings raise awareness of the proportion of incarcerated persons in the United States who have a diagnosis of MCI or dementia before they are incarcerated. Improved understanding of pathways linking cognitive impairment to incarceration in mid‐ to late‐life are needed to inform appropriateness of incarceration, optimization of health care, and prevention of interpersonal harm in this medically vulnerable population.

Published: February 2022

AbstractBackgroundThe COVID pandemic has affected the human race both physically and mentally. Mask use remains the standard way of preventing the spread of this virus. The continuous mask use has led to the emergence of various dermatoses like acne, pigmentation, and seborrhea in mask contact areas. The present survey has been undertaken to describe the various dermatoses encountered in the medical fraternity especially doctors, who are frequently exposed to prolonged mask use.AimsTo estimate the frequency of various cutaneous manifestations seen among doctors following mask use via web‐based online questionnaire survey.MethodsIt was a cross‐sectional web‐based study conducted at a tertiary care teaching institute from June 2021 to August 2021. All the doctors of the hospital completing the questionnaire were included in the study with informed consent.ResultsA total of 178 participants completed the survey. The most common complaint was increased sweating (55.6%) followed by acne (34.3%) and oily skin (34.3%). Significant association was found between skin changes and duration (>6 h/day) of mask use, increasing number, and type of mask (N 95) used (p value <0.05).ConclusionThe knowledge of various mask‐induced/aggravated dermatoses will help formulate proper precautionary protocols enhancing efficient mask usage for prolonged periods.

Published: February 2022

AbstractAimThis study assessed the effects of topical application of the plant Globularia arabica extract on the diabetic rate of wound closure.MethodsThe effect of methanol extracts of G. arabica leaf extract on pro‐inflammatory and anti‐inflammatory cytokines, as well as the rate of wound contraction, hydroxyproline, and collagen content, was examined using an excision model of wound repair in male rats.ResultsThe healing pattern was also highly related to using 10% plant extract and significantly, (p‐values <0.025) increased wound contraction and increased hydroxyproline and collagen expression in both non‐diabetic and diabetic rats, demonstrating that G. arabica extract possesses potent wound healing capacity. During the early wound healing phase, IL‐6 levels were found to be upregulated by G. arabica treatment. Increased wound contraction augmented hydroxyproline and collagen content, supporting the early wound healing exhibited by G. arabica. One of the ways for speeding wound healing may be the induction of cytokine production. The result of our study shows that the fibroblast cell line treated with 20 µg/ml methanolic extract of G. arabica significantly (p‐values <0.035) increases the cell migration that indicated the high wound healing activity.ConclusionResults suggest that G. arabica may be useful in the topical management of wound healing.

Published: February 2022

AbstractBackgroundAlthough coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) is primarily a respiratory infection, mounting evidence suggests that the gastrointestinal tract is involved in the disease, with gut barrier dysfunction and gut microbiota alterations being related to disease severity. Whether these alterations persist and are related to long‐term respiratory dysfunction remains unknown.MethodsPlasma was collected during hospital admission and after 3 months from the NOR‐Solidarity trial (n = 181) and analyzed for markers of gut barrier dysfunction and inflammation. At the 3‐month follow‐up, pulmonary function was assessed by measuring the diffusing capacity of the lungs for carbon monoxide (DLCO). Rectal swabs for gut microbiota analyses were collected (n = 97) and analyzed by sequencing the 16S rRNA gene.ResultsGut microbiota diversity was reduced in COVID‐19 patients with respiratory dysfunction, defined as DLCO below the lower limit of normal 3 months after hospitalization. These patients also had an altered global gut microbiota composition, with reduced relative abundance of 20 bacterial taxa and increased abundance of five taxa, including Veillonella, potentially linked to fibrosis. During hospitalization, increased plasma levels of lipopolysaccharide‐binding protein (LBP) were strongly associated with respiratory failure, defined as pO2/fiO2 (P/F ratio) <26.6 kPa. LBP levels remained elevated during and after hospitalization and were associated with low‐grade inflammation and respiratory dysfunction after 3 months.ConclusionRespiratory dysfunction after COVID‐19 is associated with altered gut microbiota and persistently elevated LBP levels. Our results should be regarded as hypothesis generating, pointing to a potential gut–lung axis that should be further investigated in relation to long‐term pulmonary dysfunction and long COVID.
