Inspiratory threshold loading negatively impacts attentional performance
Authors: Kelley Eli F. , Cross Troy J. , Johnson Bruce D. 
Published: September 2022

RationaleThere are growing concerns over the occurrence of adverse physiologic events (PEs) occurring in pilots during operation of United States Air Force and Navy high-performance aircraft. We hypothesize that a heightened inspiratory work of breathing experienced by jet pilots by virtue of the on-board life support system may constitute a “distraction stimulus” consequent to an increased sensation of respiratory muscle effort. As such, the purpose of this study was to determine whether increasing inspiratory muscle effort adversely impacts on attentional performance.MethodsTwelve, healthy participants (age: 29 ± 6 years) were recruited for this study. Participants completed six repetitions of a modified Masked Conjunctive Continuous Performance Task (MCCPT) protocol while breathing against four different inspiratory threshold loads to assess median reaction times (RTs). A computer-controlled threshold loading device was used to set the inspiratory threshold loads. Repeated measures analysis of variances (ANOVAs) were performed to examine: (i) the efficacy of the threshold loading device to impose significantly higher loading at each loading condition; (ii) the effects of loading condition on respiratory muscle effort sensation; and (iii) the influence of hypercapnia on MCCPT scores during inspiratory threshold loading. Generalized additive mixed effects models (GAMMs) were used to examine the potential non-linear effects of respiratory muscular effort sensation, device loading, and hypercapnia, on MCCPT scores during inspiratory threshold loading.ResultsInspiratory threshold loading significantly augmented (P &lt; 0.05) inspiratory effort sensation and the inspiratory pressure-time product (PTP). Our analyses also revealed that median hit RT was positively associated with inspiratory effort sensation during inspiratory loading trials.ConclusionThe findings of this work suggest that it was not increasing inspiratory muscle effort (i.e., PTP) per se, but rather participant’s subjective perception of inspiratory “load” that impacts negatively on attentional performance; i.e., as the degree of inspiratory effort sensation increased, sotoo did median hit RT. As such, it is reasonable to suggest that minimizing inspiratory effort sensation (independent of the mechanical output of the inspiratory muscles) during high-performance flight operations may prove useful in reducing pilot RTs during complex behavioral tasks.

PurposeTo investigate the influence of changes in T1 slope (T1S) and cervical sagittal vertical axis (CSVA) on cervical laminoplasty outcomes.MethodsEighty-one patients with cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM) treated with cervical laminoplasty were enrolled in this study. Demographic parameters included age and follow-up time. Imaging data included occiput-C2 lordosis (OC2), C2–C7 Cobb angle (CL), T1S, CSVA. Outcome assessment indicators included the Japanese Orthopedic Association (JOA) score, JOA recovery rate, and neck disability index (NDI). All patients were grouped based on preoperative T1S and variation in CL after surgery, respectively. Patients with decreased CL postoperatively were further grouped according to whether they were combined with T1S reduction.ResultsThere were no significant differences in the final JOA score, JOA recovery rate, or NDI between patients with different T1S. Patients with loss of CL postoperatively had lower JOA score and JOA recovery rate, but higher NDI than patients with sustained CL. Furthermore, patients with CL loss but compensate for it with reduction in T1S had lower CSVA, higher JOA score and JOA recovery rate than those with CL loss alone.ConclusionsDecreased T1S postoperatively prevents the tendency of the cervical spine to tilt forward by regulating CSVA and facilitates recovery of neurological function after cervical laminoplasty.

Published: September 2022

BackgroundSevere traumatic cervical spinal cord injury (tcSCI) is a disastrous event for patients and families. Maximizing spinal cord function recovery has become the primary therapeutic goal. This study investigated the effect of early extensive posterior decompression on spinal cord function improvement after severe tcSCI.MethodsA retrospective review of 83 consecutive patients who underwent extensive open-door laminoplasty decompression within 24 h after severe tcSCI (American Spinal Injury Association (ASIA) impairment scale (AIS) grade A to C) between 2009 and 2017 at our institution was performed. The patient clinical and demographic data were collected. Neurological functional recovery was evaluated according to the Japanese Orthopaedic Association (JOA) score system, ASIA motor score (AMS) and AIS grade.ResultsAmong the 83 patients initially included, the baseline AIS grade was A in 12, B in 28, and C in 43. Twenty-three patients (27.7%) had a high cervical injury. Cervical spinal stenosis (CSS) was identified in 37 patients (44.6%). The mean intramedullary lesion length was 59.6 ± 20.4 mm preoperatively and 34.2 ± 13.3 mm postoperatively (p &lt; 0.0001). At the final follow-up visit, an improvement of at least one and two AIS grades was found in 75 (90.4%) and 41 (49.4%) patients, respectively. 24 (64.9%) patients with an improvement of least two AIS grades had CSS. The mean AMS and JOA score were significantly improved at discharge and the final follow-up visit compared with on admission (p &lt; 0.0001).ConclusionsOur results suggest that early expansive laminoplasty decompression may improve neurological outcomes after severe tcSCI, especially in patients with CSS. Larger and prospective controlled studies are needed to validate these findings.

Published: September 2022

The understanding of the engineered nanomaterials (NMs) potential interaction with tissue barriers is important to predict their accumulation in cells. Herein, the fate, e.g., cellular uptake/adsorption at the cell membrane and translocation, of NMs with different physico-chemical properties across an A549 lung epithelial tissue barrier, cultured on permeable transwell inserts, were evaluated. We assessed the fate of five different NMs, known to be partially soluble, bio-persistent passive and bio-persistent active. Single exposure measurements using 100 µg/ml were performed for barium sulfate (BaSO4), cerium dioxide (CeO2), titanium dioxide (TiO2), and zinc oxide (ZnO) NMs and non-nanosized crystalline silica (DQ12). Elemental distribution of the materials in different compartments was measured after 24 and 80 h, e.g., apical, apical wash, intracellular and basal, using inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry. BaSO4, CeO2, and TiO2 were mainly detected in the apical and apical wash fraction, whereas for ZnO a significant fraction was detected in the basal compartment. For DQ12 the major fraction was found intracellularly. The content in the cellular fraction decreased from 24 to 80 h incubation for all materials. Repeated exposure measurements were performed exposing the cells on four subsequent days to 25 µg/ml. After 80 h BaSO4, CeO2, and TiO2 NMs were again mainly detected in the apical fraction, ZnO NMs in the apical and basal fraction, while for DQ12 a significant concentration was measured in the cell fraction. Interestingly the cellular fraction was in a similar range for both exposure scenarios with one exception, i.e., ZnO NMs, suggesting a potential different behavior for this material under single exposure and repeated exposure conditions. However, we observed for all the NMs, a decrease of the amount detected in the cellular fraction within time, indicating NMs loss by cell division, exocytosis and/or possible dissolution in lysosomes. Overall, the distribution of NMs in the compartments investigated depends on their composition, as for inert and stable NMs the major fraction was detected in the apical and apical wash fraction, whereas for partially soluble NMs apical and basal fractions were almost similar and DQ12 could mainly be found in the cellular fraction.
Enhancing resilience: An interpretative phenomenological analysis of The Awe Project
Authors: Thompson Jeff 
Published: September 2022

Awe is a complex emotion often associated with experiencing multiple other positive emotions during a captivating and immersive experience. Engaging in awe experiences contributes to enhancing an individual’s personal resilience and well- being. Moreover, the benefits of experiencing awe transcend the individual, as it has been described as a self-transcendent emotion provoking concern beyond the self. Using an Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) methodology, this exploratory paper evaluates the impact of The Awe Project, an online resilience and well-being program that can be accessed on mobile devices, on a specific cohort of participants. Data analysis consisted of examining participant post-program surveys and comments made during the program. Results indicate the program supported participants’ resilience and well-being through evoking awe and using other mindfulness and resilience practices, such as having a sense of agency, cognitive reappraisal, connect ciation, meaning and purpose in life, and optimism and prospection.
