Published: December 2022

AbstractThe child welfare system is characterized by fixed power structures, coercion and hierarchies that privilege the perspectives of a select few. These oppressive aspects of the system quelch youth voice and others' voices, especially those with lived experience, frequently omitting them from case‐ and system‐level decisions. Acknowledging the empowering potential of creative and arts‐based research, this study used poetic inquiry with youth in or formerly in foster care, parent partners and professionals working in child welfare, inviting them to reimagine how the system could support youth in foster care towards thriving. Through seven poetry focus groups, 41 participants wrote individual and relational poems. Analyses focused on how symbols were used and their suggestions for revisioning child welfare. Seven themes identified the types of symbols used in poems: 1) Nature/Natural Phenomena, 2) Human Body/Senses, 3) Actions, 4) Physical Objects, 5) Paperwork, Cases, Bureaucracy, 6) Connectedness/Family and 7) Strong Emotions. Beyond demonstrating a novel arts‐based method, findings offer a new, creative space for understanding the foster care system. Symbols were powerful and cut across life experiences and identities. A key implication pointed to using symbolic language to aid the work of revisioning child welfare towards humanistic and embodied approaches, social justice and well‐being.
Play and learn: Children's agency through the COVID‐19 pandemic in Mozambique
Authors: Pastore Marina Di Napoli , Salvi Francesca 
Published: December 2022

AbstractSocial distancing, one of the measures adopted in the context of the COVID‐19 pandemic, profoundly impacted on the lives of children. The consequences were, however, not homogenous. By focusing on the daily practices of 41 Mozambican children aged 3–10, we consider how differences in socioeconomic backgrounds led children to respond to the social restrictions in ways that made sense to them. Inspired by Abebe (2019), we identify how the interruptions of daily routines enabled specific instances of agency on children's part. These, we argue, produce new forms of continuity.
Young adult carers—Transitioning to adulthood or to adult caring?
Authors: Boyle Geraldine , Mozdiak Elizabeth 
Published: December 2022

AbstractSocial care policy in the UK emphasises the importance of supporting young adult carers to make positive transitions to adulthood. This paper reports findings from a qualitative study which explored whether young adult carers' services in England are facilitating transitions. The research found that young adult carers' services were endeavouring to raise young adult carers' aspirations and achieve personalised outcomes, in line with the Care Act 2014. However, formal provision for young adult carers in England, in the main, designates them as adult carers. Yet, young adult carers need to have sufficient opportunities for making decisions about their futures. Strategic funding and development of services are required to enable the Act's vision to be achieved.

Published: December 2022

AbstractObjectiveThe aim of this multicenter parallel‐group randomized controlled trial is to compare, in the same clinical scenario, 6 mm short with 11 mm long implants for the rehabilitation of completely edentulous non‐atrophic mandibles.Materials and MethodsThirty patients in three study centers received a fixed full‐arch mandibular rehabilitation supported by five inter‐foraminal implants, with no need for bone augmentation procedures. Patients were randomly allocated (1:1 ratio), at the time of surgery, to test (6 mm implants) or control group (11 mm implants). After 3 months, a screw‐retained full‐arch prosthesis was positioned (baseline). Peri‐implant marginal bone level change (MBLc, primary outcome) together with implant and prosthesis survival rate, and biological/technical complications (secondary outcomes) were evaluated up to 5 years.ResultsTwenty seven patients were controlled at 5 years (3 drop‐outs). No implant or prosthesis loss occurred. No significant intergroup difference for biological/technical complications (p > .05, Fisher's exact test) and no significant intragroup and intergroup difference in the MBLc values were registered (test −0.03 ± 0.17 mm and control −0.13 ± 0.32 mm at 5‐years; p > .025, one‐sided Mann–Whitney U‐test).ConclusionsWhen used in comparable anatomic, surgical, and prosthetic conditions, no difference in the clinical and radiographic outcomes between 6‐mm and 11‐mm implants was observed at 5 years of follow‐up. Short implants showed to be a reliable option for the rehabilitation of completely edentulous non‐atrophic mandibles. There is growing clinical evidence supporting the use of short implants, even in the case of non‐atrophic sites.

Published: December 2022

AbstractBackgroundAlthough it has been postulated that tobacco use, as well as other environmental exposures, may contribute to chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS), the data remain limited. Here, we utilised a large state population database to assess the association between tobacco use and CRS prevalence among patients undergoing endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS).MethodsEmploying a case–control study design, the Utah Population Database was queried for patients age >18 with a diagnosis of CRS and tobacco use who underwent ESS between 1996 and 2018. Smoking status was compared between patients with CRS (n = 34 350) and random population controls matched 5:1 on sex, birth year, birthplace, time residing in Utah, and pedigree (i.e., familial) information (n = 166 020). Conditional logistic regression models were used for comparisons between CRS patients and their matched controls. All analyses were repeated, additionally adjusting for race, ethnicity, tobacco use, asthma history, and interaction between tobacco use and asthma history.ResultsA total of 200 370 patients were included in the final analysis. Patients with CRS were significantly more likely to demonstrate a history of tobacco use than controls (19.6% vs. 15.0%; p < .001), with an adjusted odds ratio (aOR) of 1.42, 95% confidence interval 1.37–1.47; p < .001. More patients with CRS and comorbid asthma used tobacco (19.5%) than controls with asthma (15.0%; p < .001).ConclusionHistory of tobacco use may portend increased risk for the development of CRS among patients undergoing ESS compared to healthy controls.

SummaryThe BODY‐Q is a patient‐reported outcome measure designed to measure health‐related quality of life, satisfaction with appearance and experience with healthcare in patients with obesity who undergo bariatric surgery and/or body contouring surgery after massive weight loss. The aim of this study is to collect long term PRO‐data from patients living with obesity undergoing bariatric surgery, comparing patient undergoing or not undergoing body contouring surgery. This study will be a multicentre, prospective longitudinal cohort study with participation of three bariatric medical centres in the Netherlands. The BODY‐Q will be used to measure the satisfaction with appearance and HRQL. Patients undergoing bariatric surgery, age >18 years and <65 years and who are able to read and understand Dutch can be included. All bariatric procedures are eligible for inclusion. Administration of the questionnaires will be done preoperatively for bariatric and body contouring surgery as well as at 3, 12, 24, 36, 48 and 60 months post‐operatively. Patient‐reported outcomes measurements are becoming more important with the shift to patient‐centred healthcare. The collected longitudinal data can be helpful in determining the effectiveness and value of bariatric and body contouring surgery from the patient's perspective, and can contribute to patient tailored postoperative care.

Published: December 2022

AbstractBackgroundTextile dye mix (TDM) is included in the European baseline series (EBS), but it is unknown if TDM identifies all patients with a textile dye allergy.ObjectivesTo assess the added value of performing patch testing with individual textile dyes in addition to TDM.MethodsTwo hundred and nine patients suspected to have a contact allergy to textile dyes were patch tested between January 2015 and December 2021 with the EBS, as well as an individual textile dye test series containing textile dyes part of TDM (TDM‐dyes) and outside the scope of TDM (non‐TDM dyes).ResultsFifty‐four patients (25.8%) tested positive for TDM or an individual textile dye. Disperse Orange 3 (9.6%) followed by Disperse Blue 106 (4.8%) were the most common individual textile dyes causing a positive patch test reaction. Of the 54 dye positive patients, 28 (51.9%) had a clinically relevant reaction. No clinically relevant reactions were seen in patients that solely tested positive for non‐TDM dyes.ConclusionsIt is beneficial to test individual textile dyes in addition to TDM in patients suspected of having a textile dye allergy. Otherwise, 46.3% of the dye positive patients and 35.7% of the patients with a clinically relevant reaction would have been missed.

AbstractAimThis study investigated the association between preoperative and postoperative changes in skeletal muscle mass and long‐term oncological outcomes in patients with non‐metastatic colorectal cancer.MethodPatients who underwent surgery for Stages I–III colorectal cancer from January 2014 to December 2015 were included. Skeletal muscle mass was evaluated through preoperative and postoperative abdominopelvic CT scans. A multivariable analysis was conducted to determine the factors affecting disease‐free survival rates.ResultsA total of 238 patients were analysed. Forty‐nine (25.9%) patients had preoperative sarcopenia. Patients with preoperative sarcopenia showed lower 3‐year disease‐free survival (58.5% vs. 78.4%, P = 0.001). Patients with postoperative sarcopenia also showed significantly lower 3‐year disease‐free survival compared to postoperative patients without sarcopenia at 6, 12 and 18 months, respectively (53.9% vs. 77.8%; 69.7% vs. 81.8%; 69.1% vs. 87.7%, P = 0.004). In a subgroup analysis, patients with both preoperative and postoperative sarcopenia showed the lowest 3‐year disease‐free survival rates (50.9%). The incidence of tumour recurrence was higher among the patients who had lost more skeletal muscle mass at 12, 18 and 24 months (−14.3 cm2/m2 vs. −1.5 cm2/m2, P < 0.001; −24.5 cm2/m2 vs. −1.1 cm2/m2, P < 0.001; and −31.6 cm2/m2 vs. −1.4 cm2/m2, P < 0.001, respectively). A multivariable analysis demonstrated that the factors associated with disease‐free survival included tumour stage, venous invasion, adjuvant chemotherapy, and preoperative or postoperative sarcopenia.ConclusionNot only preoperative but also postoperative sarcopenic changes adversely affect oncological outcomes following curative resection of colorectal cancer. Careful attention should be given to correcting sarcopenic status from the preoperative to the postoperative period.

Published: December 2022

AbstractSmart home is the main part of smart intelligent system here the remote users share the sensitive information through an insecure medium to access such smart devices, which becomes security issues. The recent user authentication protocols have used to solve those problems and provide secure communication. Consumer traffic increase the risk of illegal user as legal user and radio channels are extra vulnerable to listeners. For further security enhancement, we proposed an optimal cluster based remote user authentication (OCRUA) protocol for smart home environment using hybrid soft computing techniques. The first contribution of proposed protocol is to introduce squirrel induced butterfly optimization (SBO) algorithm for cluster formation, which groups the smart devices. Then, we compute the cluster head (CH) using the teacher learning based deep neural network (TL‐DNN) based on multiple design constraints. The second contribution is to illustrate remote user authentication using optimal elliptic curve cryptography (OECC) which encrypts the sensitive information before forward to gateway. At long last, the concert of planned OCRUA protocol evaluates use different replication scenarios and shows the effectiveness over the existing state‐of‐art protocols.

ObjectivesEsophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) is important for the detection of curable gastric cancer (GC). However, there are no appropriate surveillance data during routine endoscopic inspections. This study aimed to clarify the risk factors of pT1b or deeper GC detection during surveillance endoscopy.MethodsThis was a retrospective, multicenter, cross‐sectional study conducted in 15 Japanese hospitals. We retrospectively analyzed patients with GC who had previously undergone surveillance endoscopy at each institution from January 2014 to March 2020. Patients who had undergone gastrectomy, non‐infection of Helicobacter pylori (Hp), and those with intervals <3 months or >10 years from a previous endoscopy were excluded.ResultsIn total, 1085 patients with GCs detected during surveillance endoscopy were enrolled. The multivariate logistic analysis revealed that current Hp infection (odds ratio [OR] 2.18; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.50–3.16) and a surveillance interval of >1.5 years (OR 1.96; 95% CI 1.35–2.84) were independent risk factors for pT1b or deeper GC. The 5‐year disease‐specific survival (5y‐DSS) rate of GC was significantly lower in patients with surveillance interval of >1.5 years than in those with surveillance interval of ≤1.5 years (93.7% vs. 98.3%, P < 0.001). Similarly, the 5y‐DSS rate of GC was significantly lower in patients with active Hp infection than in those without (93.7% vs. 99.4%, P < 0.001).ConclusionIn this study, a surveillance interval of >1.5 years and current Hp infection were independent risk factors for detecting pT1b or deeper GC. Additionally, these factors were poor prognostic factors of the detected GC during surveillance endoscopy.
Assessing the effectiveness of government and non‐governmental organization in assisting internally displaced women in Nigeria
Authors: Bamidele Seun , Pikirayi Innocent 
Published: December 2022

AbstractMotivationThere is scant information on support systems for internally displaced persons in Nigeria, and none on internally displaced women in the New Kuchingoro camp. This limits the operations of aid agencies and other stakeholders, preventing them from providing targeted assistance.PurposeFirst, it examined the support provided by two government agencies: the National Commission for Refugees, Migrants and Internally Displaced Persons (NCFRMI) and the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA). Second, it investigated and examined the support given by non‐governmental organizations, religious organizations, and philanthropists. Third, it analysed the challenges facing these bodies, drew conclusions about the policy implications of the situation in New Kuchingoro, and made recommendations for changes that would improve the lives of internally displaced women in the camp.Methods and approachUsing qualitative research methods, the study investigated and evaluated the various support systems provided by NCFRMI and NEMA to internally displaced women in the New Kuchingoro camp in Abuja, along with some NGOs, religious groups, and philanthropists.FindingsThe study revealed the inadequacy of co‐ordination between government agencies and NGOs in the provision of humanitarian assistance to the New Kuchingoro camp. While these NGOs were willing to provide humanitarian assistance to the women, the lack of administrative support from NCFRMI and NEMA frustrated this objective.Policy implicationsThe government needs to clarify the respective roles of NCFRMI and NEMA with regard to IDPs and relationships with non‐government aid providers, ensure adequate funding for IDPs, stamp out corruption, respect the humanitarian principles of impartiality and neutrality, and ultimately address the underlying causes of displacement.
Transforming epilepsy research: A systematic review on natural language processing applications

Published: December 2022

AbstractDespite improved ancillary investigations in epilepsy care, patients' narratives remain indispensable for diagnosing and treatment monitoring. This wealth of information is typically stored in electronic health records and accumulated in medical journals in an unstructured manner, thereby restricting complete utilization in clinical decision‐making. To this end, clinical researchers increasing apply natural language processing (NLP)—a branch of artificial intelligence—as it removes ambiguity, derives context, and imbues standardized meaning from free‐narrative clinical texts. This systematic review presents an overview of the current NLP applications in epilepsy and discusses the opportunities and drawbacks of NLP alongside its future implications. We searched the PubMed and Embase databases with a “natural language processing” and “epilepsy” query (March 4, 2022) and included original research articles describing the application of NLP techniques for textual analysis in epilepsy. Twenty‐six studies were included. Fifty‐eight percent of these studies used NLP to classify clinical records into predefined categories, improving patient identification and treatment decisions. Other applications of NLP had structured clinical information retrieval from electronic health records, scientific papers, and online posts of patients. Challenges and opportunities of NLP applications for enhancing epilepsy care and research are discussed. The field could further benefit from NLP by replicating successes in other health care domains, such as NLP‐aided quality evaluation for clinical decision‐making, outcome prediction, and clinical record summarization.

AbstractPhosphodiesterase 4 (PDE4) is highly expressed in keratinocytes and immune cells and promotes pro‐inflammatory responses upon activation. The activity of PDE4 has been attributed to various inflammatory conditions, leading to the development and approval of PDE4 inhibitors as host‐directed therapeutics in humans. For example, the topical PDE4 inhibitor, crisaborole, is approved for the treatment of mild‐to‐moderate atopic dermatitis and has shown efficacy in patients with psoriasis. However, the role of crisaborole in regulating the immunopathogenesis of inflammatory skin diseases and infection is not entirely known. Therefore, we evaluated the effects of crisaborole in multiple mouse models, including psoriasis‐like dermatitis, AD‐like skin inflammation with and without filaggrin mutations, and Staphylococcus aureus skin infection. We discovered that crisaborole dampens myeloid cells and itch in the skin during psoriasis‐like dermatitis. Furthermore, crisaborole was effective in reducing skin inflammation in the context of filaggrin deficiency. Importantly, crisaborole reduced S. aureus skin colonization during AD‐like skin inflammation. However, crisaborole was not efficacious in treating S. aureus skin infections, even as adjunctive therapy to antibiotics. Taken together, we found that crisaborole reduced itch during psoriasis‐like dermatitis and decreased S. aureus skin colonization upon AD‐like skin inflammation, which act as additional mechanisms by which crisaborole dampens the immunopathogenesis in mouse models of inflammatory skin diseases. Further examination is warranted to translate these preclinical findings to human disease.
Estimation of optimum thresholds for binary classification using genetic algorithm: An application to solve a credit scoring problem
Authors: Kazemi Hamid Reza , Khalili‐Damghani Kaveh , Sadi‐Nezhad Soheil 
Published: December 2022

AbstractThe main issue in a classification problem is classifying observations into various disjoint classes. Different classification techniques generate a continuous number between a and b, usually between 0 and 1; thus, the optimal cut‐off value(s) must be carefully selected to discriminate classes precisely. The decision is about setting a threshold value and transforming the continuous score into a binary output. Therefore, in addition to using the so‐called sophisticated classification methods to have a more accurate classification, there is a need to identify and choose the optimal threshold value(s). However, the latter has not been thoroughly investigated. Hence, this study proposes an approach based on a Genetic Algorithm (GA) and Neural Networks (NNs) to automatically find customized cut‐off values, considering different performance criteria and given datasets. Since credit scoring is a binary classification problem, two popular credit scoring datasets, namely “Australian” and “German” credit datasets, are used to test the proposed approach. Our numerical results revealed that the proposed GA‐NN model could successfully find customized acceptance thresholds, considering predetermined performance criteria, including Accuracy, Estimated Misclassification Cost (EMC), and Area under ROC Curve (AUC) for the tested datasets. Furthermore, the best‐obtained results and the paired‐samples t‐test results show that utilizing the customized cut‐off points leads to a more accurate classification than the commonly‐used threshold value of 0.5.
