AbstractThe ankle‐brachial index is an accurate tool for detecting claudication in atherosclerotic patients. However, this technique fails to identify subtle flow limitations of the iliac arteries (FLIA) in endurance athletes. Near‐infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is a noninvasive technique that measures skeletal muscle tissue oxygenation status. The aim of the present study is to examine the absolute and relative test–retest reliability of NIRS and evaluate its potential as a diagnostic tool in FLIA. NIRS‐derived exercise variables were analyzed during exercise and recovery in FLIA 17 patients and 19 healthy controls. The relative reliability of absolute variables (such as the maximal value) were slight to yet predominantly substantial (intraclass correlation coefficient [ICC], ICC range: 0.06–0.76) with good to excellent absolute reliability (absolute limits of agreement [ALoA], ALoA range: 0.8 ± 10.2 to 0.7 ± 13.1; coefficient of variation [CV], CV range: 5%–11%). Absolute values encompassing signal amplitudes showed moderate to almost perfect relative reliability (ICC range: 0.51–0.89) and poor to good absolute reliability (ALoA range: −1.3 ± 7.0 to −2.5 ± 15.7; CV range: 15%–32%). Kinetic variables showed moderate to almost perfect relative reliability for most recovery kinetics variables (ICC range: 0.54–0.86) with fair to good absolute reliability (ALoA range: 0.4 ± 12.2 to 3.9 ± 37.9; CV range: 18%–27%). Particularly, kinetic variables showed significant differences between patients and healthy subjects. NIRS is found to be a reliable method for examining muscle tissue oxygenation variables. Given the significant differences in especially recovery kinetics between normal subjects and patients, NIRS may contribute to diagnosing FLIA in endurance athletes.

Published: January 2022

AbstractAssessing how climate change information is used in conservation planning is an important part of meeting long‐term conservation and climate adaptation goals. In the United States, state agencies responsible for fish and wildlife management create State Wildlife Action Plans (SWAPs) to identify conservation goals, prioritize actions, and establish plans for managing and monitoring target species and habitats. We created a rubric to assess and compare the use of climate change information in SWAPs for 10 states in the Intermountain West and Great Plains. Interviews with SWAP authors identified institutional factors influencing applications of climate change information. Access to professional networks and climate scientists, funding support for climate change vulnerability analysis, Congressional mandates to include climate change, and supportive agency leadership facilitate using climate change information. Political climate could either support or limit options for using this information. Together, the rubric and the interview results can be used to identify opportunities to improve the use of climate information, and to identify entry points to support conservation planning and natural resource managers in successful adaptation to climate change. This research is directly relevant to future SWAP revisions, which most states will complete by 2025, and more broadly to other conservation planning processes.

Published: January 2022

AbstractAngiomyolipoma, a perivascular epithelioid cell tumour, is easily identifiable as a benign tumour in the kidneys. However, when occurring in extrarenal sites it can mimic malignancy (Cancer Cytopathol. 2017;125:257). Pathologists must be aware of the classical morphological features of this lesion, its pitfalls in extrarenal sites, and the need for immunohistochemistry in order to establish the correct diagnosis (World J Gastroenterol. 2000;6:608). We report a case of angiomyolipoma with extramedullary hematopoiesis presenting as a large hepatic mass, diagnosed by cytology through endoscopic ultrasound guided fine needle aspiration. Our case exemplifies the classic cytological findings that are important in the differentiation between hepatic angiomyolipoma (HAML) and differentials in this organ such as hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and focal nodular hyperplasia. A brief literature review and comparison of significant features between HAML and HCC are presented.
Dunking for droplets: Long‐jawed spider (Araneae, Tetragnathidae) bungees on silk line to collect water droplet from pond using its mouthparts

Published: January 2022

AbstractMany animals have been documented to collect and subsequently transport water for several purposes besides self‐hydration. However, there are few examples where this process involves the use of external body surfaces. Herein, we report on a long‐jawed spider from the Tetragnatha genus using its enlarged jaws (chelicerae) to collect water. Field observations revealed a long‐jawed spider descending on a silk line to the surface of a body of water and collecting a large droplet of water between its jaws, which was subsequently transported to a prey item wrapped in silk within its web. As spiders feed via extra‐oral digestion, we hypothesize that this water droplet was collected to replenish water lost during a previous feeding event or to rehydrate current prey to aid in nutrient extraction and consumption. While the enlarged jaws of spiders in this genus serve in feeding and mating, our observation suggests they can also be exploited for carrying liquids. This appears to be the first documented case of water foraging and subsequent external transport among spiders, revealing a novel behaviour in this group.

Published: January 2022

SummaryOrthopaedic disorders are commonly encountered in equine veterinary medicine, and non‐steroidal anti‐inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) play an important role in the management of many equine orthopaedic disorders. There are multiple NSAIDs available for use in horses, including both non‐selective and selective NSAIDS, and the body of literature evaluating the efficacy of these medications, their effects on normal and inflamed musculoskeletal tissues, and their side effects is broad. This review aims to summarise the current literature on the use of NSAIDs for equine orthopaedic disorders and examines new and future avenues for the management of inflammation in equine orthopaedics.
Role of extracellular matrix proteoglycans in immune cell recruitment

Published: January 2022

AbstractLeucocyte recruitment is a critical component of the immune response and is central to our ability to fight infection. Paradoxically, leucocyte recruitment is also a central component of inflammatory‐based diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, atherosclerosis and cancer. The role of the extracellular matrix, in particular proteoglycans, in this process has been largely overlooked. Proteoglycans consist of protein cores with glycosaminoglycan sugar side chains attached. Proteoglycans have been shown to bind and regulate the function of a number of proteins, for example chemokines, and also play a key structural role in the local tissue environment/niche. Whilst they have been implicated in leucocyte recruitment and inflammatory disease, their mechanistic function has yet to be fully understood, precluding therapeutic targeting. This review summarizes what is currently known about the role of proteoglycans in the different stages of leucocyte recruitment and proposes a number of areas where more research is needed. A better understanding of the mechanistic role of proteoglycans during inflammatory disease will inform the development of next‐generation therapeutics.
Resilience, robustness, and antifragility: Towards an appreciation of distinct organizational responses to adversity
Authors: Munoz Albert , Billsberry Jon , Ambrosini Véronique 
Published: January 2022

AbstractHillmann and Guenther provide an extensive review of research into organizational resilience in which they examine the different conceptualisations of the concept and their associated measurement scales. Their article emphasises stability, rather than other domains such as growth, as core to organizational resilience. We argue that this emphasis does not acknowledge the overlap between resilience and associated but distinctly different concepts like robustness and antifragility as observable phenomena in organizational responses to adversity. To extend Hillmann and Guenther's work, we therefore conceptually contrast resilience with robustness and antifragility so that future research might craft a more nuanced understanding of the presence of all three concepts in management research, which is currently dominated by resilience.
Infants' visual exploration strategies for adult and child faces

Published: January 2022

AbstractBy the end of the first year of life, infants' discrimination abilities tune to frequently experienced face groups. Little is known about the exploration strategies adopted to efficiently discriminate frequent, familiar face types. The present eye‐tracking study examined the distribution of visual fixations produced by 10‐month‐old and 4‐month‐old singletons while learning adult (i.e., familiar) and child (i.e., unfamiliar) White faces. Infants were tested in an infant‐controlled visual habituation task, in which post‐habituation preference measured successful discrimination. Results confirmed earlier evidence that, without sibling experience, 10‐month‐olds discriminate only among adult faces. Analyses of gaze movements during habituation showed that infants' fixations were centered in the upper part of the stimuli. The mouth was sampled longer in adult faces than in child faces, while the child eyes were sampled longer and more frequently than the adult eyes. At 10 months, but not at 4 months, global measures of scanning behavior on the whole face also varied according to face age, as the spatiotemporal distribution of scan paths showed larger within‐ and between‐participants similarity for adult faces than for child faces. Results are discussed with reference to the perceptual narrowing literature, and the influence of age‐appropriate developmental tasks on infants' face processing abilities.

Published: January 2022

AbstractCalcaneal osteotomy is a commonly established method used to correct various foot malalignment surgery problems that produce varus and valgus hindfoot abnormality as well as Haglund's deformity, cavovarus foot reconstruction, flatfoot deformity, plantar fasciitis, posterior tibial tendon insufficiency and planovalgus foot. After decades, several procedures in orthopaedic foot surgery have been suggested for reducing the risk of wound and neurovascular complications. The goal of this Prisma statement guidelines compliant systematic review was to establish the effectiveness and safety of calcaneal osteotomy in foot surgery. We have performed a novel systematic review of the current published literature in order to evaluate the scientific evidence now available on this association, assigning predefined exclusion and inclusion criteria. Eight investigations were selected which had 191 cases. The adult flatfoot, tibialis posterior reconstruction and cavovarus foot deformity were treated with different procedures of calcaneal osteotomy techniques. The adequate level of effectiveness of calcaneal osteotomy is associated with the kind and location of the incision, with or without screw application, in each specific foot condition. There is a limited number of scientific investigations of the effectiveness and safety of the different kinds of calcaneal osteotomy in foot surgery, and there is the need to enhance outcome knowledge on this foot surgery technique.

AbstractAims and objectivesTo explore the therapeutic relationship through the reflective practice of nurses in acute mental health units.BackgroundIn mental health units, the therapeutic relationship is especially relevant for increasing the effectiveness of nursing interventions. Reflective practice is considered an essential aspect for improving nursing care.DesignAction and observation stages of a participatory action research project.MethodsData were collected through reflective diaries designed for the guided description and reflection of practice interactions related to the therapeutic relationship and content analysis was applied. A total of 152 nurses from 18 acute mental health units participated. The COREQ guidelines were used.ResultsThe results were classified into three categories as follows: (i) Nursing attitude as a core of the therapeutic relationship. For the nurses, the attitudinal component was key in the therapeutic relationship. (ii) Nursing practices that are essential to the therapeutic relationship. Nurses identified practices such as creating a conducive environment, using an appropriate verbal approach, offering help and working together with the patient as essential for establishing a therapeutic relationship in practice. (iii) Contextual factors affecting the therapeutic relationship. The nurses considered the patient's condition, the care dynamics of the unit and its regulations, as well as the structure and environment of the unit, as contextual factors involved the establishment of an adequate therapeutic relationship in daily clinical practice.ConclusionsThis study has provided knowledge of the importance and role of the nurses' attitude in the context of the nurse–patient therapeutic relationship based on the reflections of nurses in mental health units regarding their own practice.Relevance to clinical practiceThese findings help nurses to increase awareness and develop improvement strategies based on their own knowledge and day‐to‐day difficulties. Moreover, managers can evaluate strategies that promote motivation and facilitate the involvement of nurses to improve the therapeutic relationship with patients.

AbstractAimCell‐free and concentrated ascites reinfusion therapy (CART) is useful for treating malignant ascites. We have previously experienced cases with no DVT‐PE despite a marked elevation in D‐dimer post‐CART. In this study, we assessed the changes in the D‐dimer levels in patients who received CART and investigated the association between elevated D‐dimer levels and occurrence of DVT‐PE.MethodsWe performed an observational retrospective analysis of patients with gynecological malignancies treated with CART between March 2018 and April 2021. The selected patients had their D‐dimer levels measured before and post‐CART. The presence or absence of clinical DVT‐PE findings was then examined, and contrast‐enhanced computed tomography was performed using a DVT protocol in some cases.ResultsEleven patients received 17 CART procedures in this study. Patients of 16 procedures (94.1%) showed a significant elevation in D‐dimer levels on day 1 post‐CART. Changes in D‐dimer levels were monitored in these patients of 16 procedures. In all 16 cases, the D‐dimer levels decreased after day 2 post‐CART. Only one patient, who presented with respiratory failure, out of the patients of 16 procedures (6.2%) with elevated D‐dimer levels on day 1 had PE.ConclusionsD‐dimer elevation after CART is likely to be transient and a false‐positive. None of the patients in this study had PE if they were asymptomatic after CART, there is no need to strongly suspect PE only by D‐dimer elevation. In conclusion, D‐dimer measurement immediately post‐CART is not helpful in predicting the diagnosis of DVT‐PE.

AbstractAimsThis study aims to describe our transvaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (vNOTES) technique for ectopic pregnancy that can be performed using conventional laparoscopic equipment with the addition of a self‐constructed pessary port and to evaluate the safety, feasibility, and outcomes of the technique.MethodsThis is a retrospective study evaluating outcomes of patients who underwent vNOTES for ectopic pregnancy (n = 21) between August 2019 and April 2021.ResultsTwenty‐one patients underwent vNOTES as intended without any intraoperative complications. Three patients (14.3%) were nulliparous, 16 patients (76.2%) had no history of vaginal delivery, and 13 patients (61.9%) had a history of at least one cesarean delivery. Eight patients (38.1%) had a history of previous abdominal surgery other than cesarean section. The mean duration of surgery was 43.4 ± 12.6 min. The mean visual analog scale scores for pain were 2.45 ± 1.13 at 2 h after surgery, 0.45 ± 0.83 at 12 h after surgery, and 0.18 ± 0.36 at 24 h after surgery. The median duration of postoperative hospital stay was 1 day (range, 1–2). There were no postoperative complications within 30 days after surgery.ConclusionsvNOTES can be performed in an existing laparoscopy setup with the addition of a self‐constructed pessary port. vNOTES is a safe and effective surgical treatment option for ectopic pregnancy, even in patients who have not had a vaginal delivery and have had multiple abdominal surgeries.
Lessons from the 2020 Covid recession for understanding regional resilience
Authors: Partridge Mark , Chung Seung‐hun , Wertz Sydney Schreiner 
Published: January 2022

AbstractThe 2020 Covid‐19 recession differs from past recessions due to the immediate economic collapse, making it a unique setting in which to assess local economic resilience. Using county‐level data, we identify initial effects of the pandemic and accompanying stay‐at‐home orders on consumer spending, unemployment insurance claims, small businesses, and low‐income employment and earnings. We discuss heterogeneity related to pre‐pandemic county characteristics and find differences compared to past recessions. Counties with larger leisure services employment shares fared worse, while counties with less‐educated, younger workforces fared better. We find an ambiguous role of small businesses in contrast with favorable impacts during prior downturns.

AbstractBACKGROUNDSchool settings offer an opportunity to impact student health and wellness. Quality wellness policies are important in establishing strong wellness environments, but current resources to support policy development, maintenance, and dissemination are lacking. The Building Healthy Schools Program aimed to develop capacity of school districts to improve the strength and comprehensiveness of wellness policies and sustain these activities.METHODSFifteen school districts in Pennsylvania participated in a program to facilitate the improvement of district wellness policies and practices. Program staff provided technical assistance to evaluate wellness policies before and after program implementation. Professional development and tailored training was provided for school personnel to create sustainability. Statistical analysis was performed to evaluate policy improvement.RESULTSThirteen of the 15 participating districts completed a policy revision. Median strength (p = .001) and comprehensiveness (p = .002) scores improved from baseline to post‐program and there were significant improvements in most assessment sub‐sections. Some districts were hesitant to make strong language improvements due to their limited capacity (ie, staff) for implementation. Champions (n = 13; 87%) reported confidence to revise wellness policy language independently in the future.CONCLUSIONSTechnical assistance provided to districts facilitated significant improvements to wellness policy language, especially in the implementation, evaluation, and communication; critical components for policy impact on school wellness environments. In addition, participant feedback suggested an ability to sustain activities in the future. Both external (ie, technical assistance) and internal resources are needed to facilitate school districts' ongoing wellness policy improvement and implementation, including improved model wellness policy language and enforcement within schools, respectively.
