Authors: Hao Xinxin , Wang Jue , Li Tiegang , Wang Qiushi 
Published: December 2022

Abstract

Objective
The aim of this study was to retrospectively analyze the etiology of a case of suspected transfusion-related acute lung injury (TRALI) occurring after blood transfusion.

Methods
The clinical symptoms, signs, imaging examinations, and laboratory test results of a patient with suspected TRALI after blood transfusion were retrospectively analyzed, and human leukocyte antigen (HLA) genotyping of the patient and HLA antibodies of the plasma donors were performed.

Results
The clinical manifestations of the patient were consistent with those of TRALI after blood transfusion. This TRALI was treated by timely ventilator support. The patient results of high-resolution HLA genotyping were HLA-A* 01:01, 11:01; HLA-B* 15:02, 37:01; HLA-C* 06:02, 08:01; DRB1* 10:01, 12:02; DRB3* 03:01, 03:01; DQA1* 01:05, 06:01; DQB1* 03:01, 05:01; DPA1* 01:03, 02:01; and DPB1* 02:01, 09:01. Of the 6 plasma donors tested, 3 were found to have HLA-II antibodies, which were HLA-DPA1*01:03, HLA-DQB1*03:01, and HLA-DQB1*03:01 antibodies.

Conclusion
We described a case of TRALI caused by HLA-DQB1*03:01 antibody and DPA1*01:03 antibody.

ABSTRACT

Introduction
The Army Combat Fitness Test (ACFT) is the fitness assessment used by the Army launched in April of 2022. The ACFT consists of six physically demanding motor movements that parallel to the stressors experienced by the modern-day combat soldier. The aim of this study is to determine the efficacy of a 12-week virtual exercise program on the individual and their overall ACFT scores.

Materials and Methods
Thirteen soldiers from the Army National Guard (age = 29.8 ± 6.2 years; height = 175.7 ± 6.1 cm; service experience ≥ 18 months to 18 years) volunteered to complete three sessions. In session 1, baseline height, body mass, body composition, and ACFT scores were collected. Session 2 consisted of a suspension trainer (ST) tutorial in which all participants familiarized themselves with the set-up and utilization of the suspension training tool kit. Upon completion of session 2, a TRX Elite ACFT Kit containing one suspension trainer, four resistance bands, and the 12-week virtual exercise training program available via iphone operating system and Android were given to all participants. In session 3, post-assessments of body mass, body composition, and ACFT scores were collected. Data were statistically analyzed using a paired-sample t-test with a Bonferroni correction (P &lt; .00065) to adjust for multiple comparisons.

Results
There were no significant changes in mean body mass (83.8 ± 16.5 kg vs. 83.9 ± 16.6 kg; P = .752); however, there was a significant reduction in mean percentage body fat (19.5 ± 6.4% vs. 18.3 ± 6.5%; P &lt; .0001). Mean scores from four of the six individual ACFT assessments, specifically, deadlift, standing power throw, hand-release push-ups, and sprint–drag–carry, displayed improvements, but did not attain statistical significance. The overall mean ACFT scores displayed significant improvements (319.4 ± 39.9 vs. 390.4 ± 68.5; P &lt; .0001).

Conclusions
The TRX Elite ACFT Kit which includes one suspension trainer, four varying resistance bands, and on-demand access to a stepwise 12-week virtual exercise program was deemed effective by increasing the overall mean ACFT scores among participants. From a practitioner’s perspective, the TRX Elite ACFT Kit should be widely distributed to all Army units and recruiting commands to provide vital assistance for recruits and soldiers to train and prepare for the ACFT. Moreover, given the ease and portability of the TRX Elite ACFT Kit, recruits and soldiers will be able to effectively train anytime, anywhere.
Colour gradients of low-redshift galaxies in the DESI Legacy Imaging Survey
Authors: Liao Li-Wen , Cooper Andrew P 
Published: December 2022

ABSTRACT
Radial colour gradients within galaxies arise from gradients of stellar age, metallicity, and dust reddening. Large samples of colour gradients from wide-area imaging surveys can complement smaller integral-field spectroscopy data sets and can be used to constrain galaxy formation models. Here, we measure colour gradients for low-redshift galaxies (z &lt; 0.1) using photometry from the DESI Legacy Imaging Survey DR9. Our sample comprises ∼93 000 galaxies with spectroscopic redshifts and ∼574 000 galaxies with photometric redshifts. We focus on gradients across a radial range 0.5Reff to Reff, which corresponds to the inner disc of typical late-type systems at low redshift. This region has been the focus of previous statistical studies of colour gradients and has recently been explored by spectroscopic surveys such as MaNGA. We find that the colour gradients of most galaxies in our sample are negative (redder towards the centre), consistent with the literature. We investigate empirical relationships between colour gradient, average g − r and r − z colour, Mr, M⋆, and sSFR. Trends of gradient strength with Mr (M⋆) show an inflection around Mr ∼ −21 ($\log _{10} \, M_\star /\mathrm{M_\odot }\sim 10.5$). Below this mass, colour gradients become steeper with increasing M⋆, whereas colour gradients in more massive galaxies become shallower. We find that positive gradients (bluer stars at smaller radii) are typical for galaxies of $M_{\star }\sim 10^{8}\, \mathrm{M_\odot }$. We compare our results to age and metallicity gradients in two data sets derived from fits of different stellar population libraries to MaNGA spectra, but find no clear consensus explanation for the trends we observe. Both MaNGA data sets seem to imply a significant contribution from dust reddening, in particular, to explain the flatness of colour gradients along the red sequence.
Worker flows and wage dynamics: estimating wage growth without composition effects
Authors: Carrasco Raquel , García-Pérez J Ignacio , Jimeno Juan F 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
Wage dynamics are closely intertwined with job flows. Composition effects associated with the different characteristics of workers and jobs may blur the ‘true’ underlying wage pressure in the economy. We gauge composition effects in wage growth taking into consideration not only changes in employee and job characteristics, but also worker flows among employment states (stayers in the same job, movers to another job, new entrants and exits) controlling for the selection of workers into the different states. Using Spanish Social Security data during the 2006–18 period, we find that the ‘true’ underlying wage growth in the Spanish economy during recessions (expansions) was, on average, significantly lower (higher) than that the observed with raw data. This may help to explain some macro puzzles, such as the ‘vanishing Phillips curve’.
Photosynthetic mechanism of maize yield under fluctuating light environments in the field

Published: December 2022

AbstractThe photosynthetic mechanism of crop yields in fluctuating light environments in the field remains controversial. To further elucidate this mechanism, we conducted field and simulation experiments using maize (Zea mays) plants. Increased planting density enhanced the light fluctuation frequency and reduced the duration of daily high light, as well as the light-saturated photosynthetic rate, biomass, and yield per plant. Further analysis confirmed a highly significant positive correlation between biomass and yield per plant and the duration of photosynthesis related to daily high light. The simulation experiment indicated that the light-saturated photosynthetic rate of maize leaves decreased gradually and considerably when shortening the daily duration of high light. Under an identical duration of high light exposure, increasing the fluctuation frequency decreased the light-saturated photosynthetic rate slightly. Proteomic data also demonstrated that photosynthesis was mainly affected by the duration of high light and not by the light fluctuation frequency. Consequently, the current study proposes that an appropriate duration of daily high light under fluctuating light environments is the key factor for greatly improving photosynthesis. This is a promising mechanism by which the photosynthetic productivity and yield of maize can be enhanced under complex light environments in the field.

Abstract

Objective
We wanted to determine whether socioeconomic inequalities in primary care consultation rates for two major, disabling musculoskeletal conditions in England narrowed or widened between 2004 and 2019.

Methods
We analysed data from Clinical Practice Research Datalink Aurum, a national general practice electronic health records database, linked to national deprivation ranking of each patient’s registered residential postcode. For each year, we estimated the age- and sex-standardized consultation incidence and prevalence for low back pain and OA for the most deprived 10% of neighbourhoods through to the least deprived 10%. We then calculated the slope index of inequality and relative index of inequality overall and by sex, age group and geographical region.

Results
Inequalities in low back pain incidence and prevalence over socioeconomic status widened between 2004 and 2013 and stabilized between 2014 and 2019. Inequalities in OA incidence remained stable over socioeconomic status within the study period, whereas inequalities in OA prevalence widened markedly over socioeconomic status between 2004 and 2019. The widest gap in low back pain incidence and prevalence over socioeconomic status was observed in populations resident in northern English regions and London and in those of working age, peaking at 45–54 years.

Conclusion
We found persistent, and generally increasing, socioeconomic inequalities in the rate of adults presenting to primary care in England with low back pain and OA between 2004 and 2019.
Dispossessory Citizenship: The Settler Colonial State and the Bureau of Indian Affairs’ Relocation Program, 1952–1972
Authors: Kent-Stoll Peter 
Published: December 2022

ABSTRACT
Through the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) relocation program starting in 1952, the United States sought to terminate federal trust restrictions for American Indians and while relocating reservation and rural-residing Indigenous people to cities to be assimilated into the American “mainstream.” I analyze the BIA’s program as part of the specifically settler colonial structure of the U.S. state. Using primary and secondary sources, I ask what explains the BIA’s shifting spatial strategies and imaginaries from the rise of the relocation program to its demise? The BIA’s project derided reservations as fiscal burdens, depicted the postwar city as a place of “Indian freedom,” engaged in gendered surveillance of Indigenous families, and negated Indigenous peoples’ histories in U.S. cities. As the program ended, the BIA shifted rhetoric from assimilation to self-determination to maintain the settler colonial relation while paying lip service to critiques of the colonial tactics of relocation. These different moments of the relocation project articulated a type of dispossessory citizenship as a racial and empire state strategy of enacting and justifying settler colonialism. This work analyzes the settler colonial dimensions of the state and its technologies of violence and territory used when it presents itself as supposedly moving past its colonial past.
Unequal Upsides? The Status-Based Inequalities in the Relationship Between Schedule Control and Job Pressure
Authors: Badawy Philip J 
Published: December 2022

ABSTRACT
Sociologists have long identified job pressure as a central work-related stressor with far-reaching consequences for workers’ well-being, their families, and organizations. However, surprisingly little empirical work examines how schedule control influences job pressure in a longitudinal framework—or the status-based contingencies in the resource functions of schedule control. Drawing on five waves of population-level panel data from the Canadian Work, Stress, and Health Study (2011–2019), I use fixed-effects analyses to examine the relationship between schedule control and job pressure, examining whether schedule control operates differently across occupations (professionals versus non-professionals) and levels of authority in the workplace. My findings help advance the sociological study of work-stress research by resolving competing predictions about the relationship between schedule control and job pressure across status. While others have argued the possibility for schedule control to intensify work-related pressures, I find that schedule control helps reduce job pressure. However, my results reveal that schedule control does not benefit all workers equally: it has unequal upsides for higher status workers. These discoveries sharpen existing knowledge about the resource functions of schedule control and are discussed in light of synthesizing key ideas from the sociology of work, and the stress process and job demands-resources models.

Published: December 2022

Abstract:
Statin-associated muscle symptoms (SAMS) are one of the most common side effects of statins. This study aimed to explore the significance of SAMS among statin users by comparing statin users with a control group. To achieve our aims, a propensity score matching the retrospective cohort study was conducted in a single center tertiary hospital. The statin muscle symptoms were assessed using the Proposed Statin Myalgia Index Score, whereas the patient's adherence to medications was evaluated using the Morisky Medication Adherence Scale-8. We included 743 patients in our study; of them, 64.9% were on statin, whereas the rest were controls (35.1%). After propensity score matching, patients on statin had significantly higher rates of SAMS (5.0%) compared with control (1.6%) (AOR = 3.209; 95% CI: 1.020–10.091). However, there was no significant difference between statin users and controls in medications nonadherence (P-value = 0.820). Our analysis among statins users revealed that moderate-intensity (2.671; 95% CI: 1.691–3.310) and high-intensity (3.552; 95% CI: 2.190–4.129) statin therapy was significantly associated with SAMS. In addition, autoimmune diseases were significantly associated with SAMS occurrence (AOR = 32.301; 95% CI: 1.785–584.374). Also, patients on PPIs had significantly less occurrence of SAMS (AOR = 0.145; 95% CI: 0.044–0.483), whereas patients on antiepileptic drugs had significantly higher SAMS occurrence (AOR = 72.337; 95% CI: 2.649–1975.201). Regarding MACE among statin users, there was no significant difference in the 1-year or 5-year MACE rate between statin users and controls. Our study suggests that SAMS are significant among statin users and must be addressed by health care providers to ensure that patients are still adherent to their medications and hence protected against cardiac events.

Published: December 2022

Objective
To predict the recurrence of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) within 2 years after curative-intent treatment using a machine-learning approach with PET/CT-based radiomics.

Patients and methods
A total of 77 NSCLC patients who underwent pretreatment 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose PET/CT were retrospectively analyzed. Five clinical features (age, sex, tumor stage, tumor histology, and smoking status) and 48 radiomic features extracted from primary tumors on PET were used for binary classifications. These were ranked, and a subset of useful features was selected based on Gini coefficient scores in terms of associations with relapsed status. Areas under the receiver operating characteristics curves (AUC) were yielded by six machine-learning algorithms (support vector machine, random forest, neural network, naive Bayes, logistic regression, and gradient boosting). Model performances were compared and validated via random sampling.

Results
A PET/CT-based radiomic model was developed and validated for predicting the recurrence of NSCLC during the first 2 years after curation. The most important features were SD and variance of standardized uptake value, followed by low-intensity short-zone emphasis and high-intensity zone emphasis. The naive Bayes model with the 15 best-ranked features displayed the best performance (AUC: 0.816). Prediction models using the five best PET-derived features outperformed those using five clinical variables.

Conclusion
The machine learning model using PET-derived radiomic features showed good performance for predicting the recurrence of NSCLC during the first 2 years after a curative intent therapy. PET/CT-based radiomic features may help clinicians improve the risk stratification of relapsed NSCLC.
Hand-Arm Bimanual Intensive Training in Virtual Reality: A Feasibility Study
Authors: Gehringer James E. , Fortin Elizabeth , Surkar Swati M. , Hao Jie , Pleiss Monica , Jensen-Willett Sandra 
Published: December 2022

Objective:
The aim of the study was to evaluate the feasibility of virtual reality (VR) software built using the core concepts of hand-arm bimanual intensive training (HABIT) for improving upper extremity motor function in children with cerebral palsy (CP).

Methods:
Eight children with CP participated in a 10-day, 40-hour HABIT program. Half of the time custom VR software, HABIT-VR was used. The children's motor skills were assessed pre- and postintervention with the Assisting Hand Assessment, Box and Blocks Test, and Nine-Hole Peg Test.

Results:
The children had significant and clinically relevant changes in the Assisting Hand Assessment and Box and Blocks Test; however, Nine-Hole Peg Test scores did not change with intervention.

Conclusion:
These data suggest that combining traditional HABIT strategies with HABIT-VR games improve upper extremity function and gross motor skills but not fine motor skills.
Modified Delphi technique to identify management of primary and secondary aesthetic breast augmentation. Will we reach a consensus?
Authors: Montemurro Paolo , Cheema Mubashir , Hedén Per 
Published: December 2022

Introduction
Breast augmentation is indeed a very common operation. While evidence has grown with experience and long term studies, variation in practice exists. Our aim was to identify the existing practices of a group of surgeons for primary and secondary aesthetic breast augmentation.

Materials and methods
Seventy two plastic surgeons with a specialist interest in aesthetic breast surgery were asked to participate in the survey about aesthetic breast augmentation. Once agreed, a 54 point online survey was given, covering demographics about the surgeon and their practice, implant choice and peri-operative technique, use of emerging evidence and surgical techniques, preferences about secondary surgery and opinion about topics of controversy.

Results
All 72 surgeons completed the survey. Their mean age was 57.6 years, 56.9% had been in surgical practice for over 20 years and 88.9% were performing more than 50 primary breast augmentations per year. The most commonly used measurement for implant selection was breast width, implant type was silicone (81.9%) and volume range was 250-350cc (86.1%). 36.1% surgeons use anatomical implants in more than half of their cases. Opinions were divided about postoperative return to work, use of insertion funnel and acellular dermal matrix.

Conclusion
Multiple factors affect clinical outcome in primary and secondary aesthetic breast surgery. A few well-established techniques have gained common acceptance but the opinion is more diverse for difficult, complicated or challenging scenarios. Our survey helps understand the decision-making process of expert surgeons with an interest in aesthetic breast surgery.

Published: December 2022

Objective
This study aimed to identify the factors that exerted an impact on the experiences of hospitalized patients during the COVID-19 pandemic from the quality and safety perspectives.

Method
A scoping review that followed the 5 stages described by Arksey and O’Malley was used. A systematized search of original studies was conducted in 9 databases: PubMed/MEDLINE, BDENF, CINAHL, LILACS, SciELO, Embase, Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar. The factors that exerted an impact on patients’ experiences were summarized, considering the perspective of quality and patient safety in health institutions. The factors were categorized using the Content Analysis technique.

Results
A total of 6950 studies were screened, and 32 met the eligibility criteria. The main factors that exerted an impact on the patients’ experience were as follows: caregiver/family concern with the patients’ well-being during hospitalization, search for alternative communication and interaction means between the patients and their family, and changes in health care organization. The restrictions inherent to the policy regarding visits and companions exerted a negative impact on the experiences, increasing the patients’ feelings of loneliness and isolation. Negative impacts were also evidenced in the hospital admission and discharge process and in the limitation of treatment possibilities offered to the patients, because of contact restrictions.

Conclusions
The factors that exerted an impact on the patients’ experiences permeate communication between professionals, patients, and family members, with implications for health care quality.
