Authors: Solak Berna , Aydın Büşra , Yüksekal Gülcan , Yaldız Mahizer 
Published: December 2022

AbstractBackgroundWe aimed to evaluate if psoriasis associated with restless legs syndrome (RLS) due to its close relationship with metabolic disorders.MethodsThis was a cross‐sectional study in which the relationship between RLS and psoriasis was evaluated. Seventy consecutive psoriasis patients and 70 controls without any skin disorder were included in this study. Data including age, gender, body weight, height, and Psoriasis Area Severity Index (PASI) scores were recorded. Diagnosis of RLS was established using International RLS Study Group (IRLSSG) diagnostic criteria. International RLS Rating Scale (IRLSRS) was used to evaluate the severity of symptoms. Each participant completed forms of the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS), and the Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI).ResultsThe RLS frequency in patients with psoriasis was 18.6% vs. 5.7% in the control group (P = 0.018). In psoriasis patients, BMI, DLQI, IRLSRS, hemoglobin, ferritin, CRP, and uric acid levels were significantly higher than those of the controls. In psoriasis patients with RLS, PASI, DLQI, PSQI, IRLSRS scores, CRP level, and BMI were significantly higher, and hemoglobin level was significantly lower relative to the psoriasis patients without RLS. PASI score was the sole independent associate of RLS presence in psoriasis patients.ConclusionRestless legs syndrome was significantly more common in psoriasis patients, and the presence of RLS was associated with significantly more severe psoriasis, more severe systemic inflammation, lower serum hemoglobin values, worse quality of life, and sleep quality.

Published: December 2022

AbstractAimTo present the development, evaluation and adaptation of the PAIN‐Neo theory.DesignTheory development.Data SourcesA review of literature was conduct from 1980 to 2021.ResultsUsing a critical realism paradigm, this paper presents the PAIN‐Neo theory, which was developed from an analysis of existing theoretical perspectives on paediatric procedural pain, empirical studies conducted with preterm infants, and the research team's pain management expertise. The theory was then empirically tested and fine‐tuned.Implications for NursingThe PAIN‐Neo theory highlights that the neonatal nurse is part of a larger picture as she is influenced by factors related to her unit, hospital and country of practice. This theory emphasizes the importance of parental involvement in pain management, which is consistent with family‐centred nursing practices.ConclusionThe PAIN‐Neo theory reflects the complexity of pain management nursing. This theory is innovative and specific enough to guide practice, structure research projects and contribute to the body of knowledge in the discipline of nursing.
Algorithmic market making in dealer markets with hedging and market impact
Authors: Barzykin Alexander , Bergault Philippe , Guéant Olivier 
Published: December 2022

AbstractIn dealer markets, dealers provide prices at which they agree to buy and sell the assets and securities they have in their scope. With ever increasing trading volume, this quoting task has to be done algorithmically in most markets such as foreign exchange (FX) markets or corporate bond markets. Over the last 10 years, many mathematical models have been designed that can be the basis of quoting algorithms in dealer markets. Nevertheless, in most (if not all) models, the dealer is a pure internalizer, setting quotes and waiting for clients. However, on many dealer markets, dealers also have access to an interdealer market or even public trading venues where they can hedge part of their inventory. In this paper, we propose a model taking this possibility into account therefore allowing dealers to externalize part of their risk. The model displays an important feature well known to practitioners that within a certain inventory range, the dealer internalizes the flow by appropriately adjusting the quotes and starts externalizing outside of that range. The larger the franchise, the wider is the inventory range suitable for pure internalization. The model is illustrated numerically with realistic parameters for USDCNH spot market.
Social equity in the data era: A systematic literature review of data‐driven public service research

Published: December 2022

AbstractGovernments increasingly rely on large amounts of data to deliver public services. In response, there is a robust discussion about the implications of this trend for efficiency and economy, but much less attention is paid to social equity. To address this issue, our study synthesizes cross‐disciplinary research on the relationship between data‐driven public services and social equity. Based on a systematic literature review of 190 articles covering a decade of research, we demonstrate how public sector data applications relate to social equity in terms of access to services, treatment, service quality, and outcomes. Our review identifies key mechanisms related to data collection, storage, analysis, and usage that need to be addressed to ensure more equitable data‐driven public services. This review contributes to public administration research and practice by highlighting the complexities of social equity in the data era.
Recognising older people's individual resources and home‐care‐specific tasks in home care in Finland: A document analysis of care and service plans

Published: December 2022

AbstractBackground and RationaleComprehensive care and service planning in home care is tailored to older people's individual needs and resources in order to support them living at home. However, little is known about how these individual resources and home‐care‐specific tasks are recognised in older people's care and service plans.AimsTo describe the content of care and service plans in older people's home care with special attention to their individual resources and home‐care‐specific tasks.DesignThis was a document‐based cross‐sectional study with mixed‐methods analysis, carried out in Eastern Finland during Spring 2018.MethodsA document analysis using the deductive Finnish Care Classification (FinCC), and an inductively developed framework of older people's care and service plans (n = 71). The data were analysed with descriptive statistical methods.ResultsAltogether, 1718 notes were relevant to the FinCC main categories: 707 (41%) focused on older people's needs and 1011 (59%) on nursing interventions. We identified 1104 notes based on the 26 inductively developed main categories: the majority (n = 628, 57%) focused on individual resources and the remainder (n = 476, 43%) on home‐care‐specific tasks. Increasing age resulted in fewer notes on safety and sensory functions. There were fewer notes on resources related to sleeping and wakefulness after longer care and service periods. An increased number of home visits resulted in more documentation on tasks related to pharmaceutical issues, including repeat prescriptions.DiscussionIndividual resources for older people were documented, to some extent, in their care and service plans. It is necessary to review these alongside home‐care‐specific tasks that support older people's independence and safety at home.ConclusionIndividual resources need to be recognised in order to enable home‐care professionals to provide tailored, high‐quality home care services. Home‐care‐specific tasks should be supported by documentation with updated, sensitive home care classifications.
Transformed ecologies and transformational saints: Exploring new pilgrimage routes in North East England
Authors: Miles‐Watson Jonathan 
Published: December 2022

AbstractCounty Durham in the UK has witnessed dramatic social and environmental shifts over the past 50 years, yet Durham Cathedral has stood at the heart of the region, seemingly solid, unchanging and eternal. It is frequently narrated as a prestigious jewel (a national treasure) that is surrounded by a countryside (and people) that clearly bear the time‐marked scars of the processes of industrialisation and deindustrialisation. In this paper, I explore a recent moment in time when a partnership between the Cathedral and the local secular authorities aimed to rapidly transform our understanding of this space by connecting Cathedral and county through the newly laid Northern Saints' Trails. These Trails were designed as both a response to rapid changes in the local ecology and a catalyst for further transformation. The processes of this formation were ultimately delayed by the outbreak of COVID‐19, yet this external force allowed the Pilgrimage project to find new life as a powerful healing practice for those who dwell in Durham. Attention to this process of purposeful, regular pilgrimage directs our attention towards the entangled nature of the home anthropologist and their role in the co‐construction of space, leading to a call for a new articulation of both core methods in the anthropology of religion and a return to a form of prophetic anthropology (Miles‐Watson, 2020).
Teaching social determinants through geographic information system mapping

Published: December 2022

AbstractBackgroundMany institutions in undergraduate medical education have developed unique curricula to teach social determinants of health (SDOH). Geographic information system (GIS) mapping is one tool that learners could use to understand our built environment and its correlation with health outcomes through data analysis, visualization and active learning.ApproachAt the University of North Carolina School of Medicine, medical students participate in a 4‐year longitudinal curriculum on social and health systems science with the final year dedicated to self‐directed learning. This final year course incorporates a GIS‐based online module to help students apply their understanding of the health impacts of SDOH. Students create online maps with simulated patient data and identify ‘hotspots’ with map overlays using ArcGIS software. Students write reflections on their maps based on the implications of SDOH. Thematic analysis of these reflections identified patterns within the narrative data.EvaluationFrom March 2020 to February 2021, 148 fourth‐year medical students participated in the GIS learning module. Five major themes were identified: Explored Social Determinant Topics, Inclusion of Geo‐mapping in Curriculum, Utility of Geo‐mapping in Healthcare, Future Application of ArcGIS for Personal Use, Impressions of ArcGIS Software. Students showed engagement and interest in the exercise, and responses were overall positive. Responses showed understanding of the application of ArcGIS and demonstrated knowledge of social determinants of health.ImplicationsA self‐directed, active learning online module using GIS mapping offers a generally popular, eye‐opening and unique method for teaching SDOH in undergraduate medical education.

Published: December 2022

AbstractA 1‐year‐old, female English Bulldog presented with a 10‐day history of progressive paraparesis. Neuroanatomical localization was consistent with T3‐L3 segment myelopathy. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed a severely compressive, mildly contrast enhancing, extradural, dorsal, broad‐based mass at the level of L3‐4. Similar, non‐compressive, smaller nodules were present along the extradural space and dura mater of the caudal lumbar spine. Owners elected euthanasia based on these imaging findings and progressive clinical signs. Necropsy, histopathology and immunohistochemistry revealed a mesenchymal mass and nodules, admixed with numerous inflammatory cells. The diagnosis of an extradural inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) with a multifocal presentation was made.
Analysis of the Heat-Affected Zone and Ablation Efficiency in Terms of Burst Mode Parameters During High Power Picosecond Laser Micromachining of Metals
Authors: Zhang Sijie , Shin Yung C. 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
This paper presents a systematic study on using the burst mode ablation to limit the heat-affected zone (HAZ) while maintaining a high ablation efficiency using a high-power industrial picosecond laser with burst fluence larger than 10 J/cm2. An extended three-dimensional two-temperature model (3D-TTM) was employed to study the mechanism of the HAZ development and to predict the ablation efficiency with experimental validation. The essentiality of including the lattice heat conduction to predict accurate HAZ was discussed. The effect of the number of pulses per burst and pulse-to-pulse separation time was investigated. The optimal number of pulses per burst was obtained by using the 3D-TTM for copper and stainless steel. The 3D-TTM suggested that by using the optimal number of pulses per burst, a maximum reduction of 77% and 61% in HAZ could be achieved for copper and stainless steel respectively. And the corresponding ablation efficiency will be increased by 24% and 163% for copper and stainless steel at the same time. This study showed that burst mode laser machining at high fluence is an effective way of increasing efficiency while limiting the HAZ.

AimMuch existing data on childhood refractive error prevalence in India were gathered in local studies, many now dated. The aim of this study was to estimate the prevalence, severity and determinants of refractive errors among school-going children participating in a multistate vision screening programme across India.MethodsIn this cross-sectional study, vision screening was conducted in children aged 5–18 years at schools in five states using a pocket vision screener. Refractive error was measured using retinoscopy, and subjective refraction and was defined both by spherical equivalent (SE) and spherical ametropia, as myopia ≤−0.5 diopters (D), hyperopia ≥+1.0 D and/or astigmatism as >0.5 D. Data from the eye with less refractive error were used to determine prevalence.ResultsAmong 2 240 804 children (50.9% boys, mean age 11.5 years, SD ±3.3), the prevalence of SE myopia was 1.57% (95% CI 1.54% to 1.60%) at 5–9 years, 3.13% (95% CI 3.09% to 3.16%) at 10–14 years and 4.8% (95% CI 4.73% to 4.86%) at 15–18 years. Hyperopia prevalence was 0.59% (95% CI 0.57% to 0.61%), 0.54% (95% CI 0.53% to 0.56%) and 0.39% (95% CI 0.37% to 0.41%), respectively. When defined by spherical ametropia, these values for myopia were 0.84%, 2.50% and 4.24%, and those for hyperopia were 2.11%, 2.41% and 2.07%, respectively.Myopia was associated with older age, female gender, private school attendance, urban location and state. The latter appeared to be driven by higher literacy rates.ConclusionsRefractive error, especially myopia, is common in India. Differences in prevalence between states appear to be driven by literacy rates, suggesting that the burden of myopia may rise as literacy increases.

ObjectivesThe treatment workload associated with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) is high. The treatment burdens experienced by patients with ESKD are not well understood. In this study, we aimed to elucidate the most important areas of treatment burden for discussion in a clinical encounter from the perspectives of patients with ESKD and nephrologists. We sought to explore possible solutions to these high priority treatment burden challenges.DesignNominal group technique (NGT) sessions.Setting and participantsThree in-person NGT sessions were conducted with 19 patients with dialysis-dependent ESKD from one tertiary treatment centre (mean age 64 years; range 47–82). All patients were either retired or on a disability pension; 74% perceived moderate or severe treatment burden; and 90% spent more than 11 hours on treatment-related activities per week (range 11–30). One online NGT session was conducted with six nephrologists from two Australian states.Main outcome measuresThe primary outcome was a ranked list of treatment burden priorities. The secondary outcome was potential solutions to these treatment burden challenges.ResultsEvery patient group rankedhealth system issuesas the most important treatment burden priority. This encompassed lack of continuity and coordination of care, dissatisfaction with frequent healthcare encounters and challenges around healthcare access.Psychosocial burdenson patients and families were perceived to be the most important area of treatment burden by physicians, and were ranked the second highest priority by patients.ConclusionsDiscussing treatment burden in a clinical encounter may lead to a better understanding of patients’ capacity to cope with their treatment workload. This could facilitate tailored care, improve health outcomes, treatment sustainability and patients’ overall quality of life.
Examining the existing knowledge base for enablers of family recovery in mental health: a protocol for a scoping review of national and international literature
Authors: Cuskelly Kerry , Norton Michael John , Delaney Gina 
Published: December 2022

IntroductionRecovery-oriented services in mental health are becoming an accepted approach across much of the globe. While the development of recovery-oriented approaches has focused mainly on people accessing mental health services, families of those accessing services also need to be included under the discussions of mental health recovery within mental health service provision. It is important that service providers understand what support families require in order to facilitate their recovery journeys. To that end, this review will seek to ascertain what evidence exists on the enablers of family recovery from national and international literature.Method and analysisThis proposed scoping review aims to investigate the family recovery enablers within a mental health context. A Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis compliant scoping review is proposed, based on Arksey and O’Malley’s framework. Search terms are stated and a variety of databases (CINAHL, JSTOR, Ovid SP, PsycINFO, PubMed, RCNi, Science Direct, Web of Science and Wiley Online Library) and repositories (Google, Google Scholar and ResearchGate) will be consulted to examine papers based on a predetermined inclusion/exclusion criteria. The search range is from 1 January 2012 to 31 December 2022.Ethics and disseminationAs this paper presents a protocol for a scoping review of the literature into family enablers in mental health, no ethical approval is required. The preprint protocol was added to OSF Registries on 29 October 2021 where it is freely available. The registry will be updated once this paper has been published. The resulting scoping review will be distributed through peer-reviewed publication in a high impact journal.

BackgroundDiagnostic imaging for low back pain (LBP) without any indication of a serious underlying cause does not improve patient outcomes. However, there is still overuse of imaging, especially at emergency departments (EDs). Although evidence-based guidelines for LBP and radicular pain management exist, a protocol for use at the ED in the Belgian University Hospitals Leuven was not available, resulting in high practice variation. The present paper aims to describe the process from protocol development to the iterative implementation approach and explore how it has influenced practice.MethodsIn accordance with a modified ‘knowledge-to-action’ framework, five steps took place within the iterative bottom-up implementation process: (1) identification of the situation that requires the implementation of evidence based recommendations, (2) context analysis, (3) development of an implementation plan, (4) evaluation and (5) sustainability of the implemented practice recommendations. Two potential barriers were identified: the high turnover of attending specialists at the ED and patients’ and general practicioners’ expectations that might overrule the protocol. These were tackled by educational sessions for staff, patient brochures, an information campaign and symposium for general practitioners.ResultsThe rate of imaging of the lumbar spine decreased from over 25% of patients to 15.0%–16.4% for CT scans and 19.0%–21.8% for X-rays after implementation, but started to fluctuate again after 3 years. After introducing a compulsory e-learning before rotation and catchy posters in the ED staff rooms, rates decreased to 14.0%–14.6% for CT scan use and 12.7–13.5% for X-ray use.ConclusionsImplementation of a new protocol in a tertiary hospital ED with high turn over of rotating trainees is a challenge and requires ongoing efforts to ensure sustainability. Rates of imaging represent an indirect though useful indicator. We have demonstrated that it is possible to implement a protocol that includes demedicalisation in an ED environment and to observe changes in indicator results.
