Published: July 2022

Recent advancements in semiconductor technologies have stimulated the growth of ultra-low power wearable devices. However, these devices often pose critical constraints in usability and functionality because of the on-device battery as the primary power source [1]. For example, periodic charging of wearable devices hampers the continuous monitoring of users' fitness or health conditions [2], and batteries and charging equipment have been identified as one of the most rapidly growing electronic waste streams [3].
To counteract the above-mentioned complications associated with the management of on-device batteries, wireless power transmission technologies capable of charging wearable devices in a completely unobtrusive and seamless manner have become an emerging topic of research over the past decade [4]. Researchers have instrumented daily objects or the surrounding environment with equipment that can wirelessly transfer energy from a variety of sources, such as Radio Frequency (RF) signals, laser, and electromagnetic fields [5]. However, these solutions require large and costly infrastructure and/or need to transmit a significant amount of power to support reasonable power harvesting at the wearable devices, which conflict with the vision of ubiquitously available and scalable charging support.

Brachypodium Palisot de Beauvois (1812: 100,155) (Brachypodieae, Pooideae) is a temperate grass distributed in Europe and Asia with disjunct occurrences in Central America and Central and Southern Africa (Schippmann 1991, Catalán & Olmstead 2000, Piep 2007). Brachypodium obtusifolium Lagasca ex Link (1821: 95) is a Spanish endemic species, restricted to the mountainous zone of Sierra Nevada, Sierra Tejeda, Sierra de Almijara and Sierra de Cázulas (provinces of Granada and Málaga) (Romero 2009; López González 2021).
Near-Surface Atmospheric Behavior over Complex Tropical Topography in Puerto Rico Dominated by Seasonal Patterns Despite Frequent Environmental Changes
Authors: Van Beusekom Ashley E. , González Grizelle 
Published: July 2022

Abstract
Understanding near-surface atmospheric behavior in the tropics is imperative given the role of tropical energy fluxes in Earth’s climate cycles, but this area is complicated by a land–atmosphere interaction that includes rugged topography, seasonal weather drivers, and frequent environmental disturbances. This study examines variation in near-surface atmospheric behaviors in northeastern Puerto Rico using a synthesis of data from lowland and montane locations under different land covers (forest, urban, and rural) during 2008–21, when a severe drought, large hurricanes (Irma and Maria), and the COVID-19 mobility-reducing lockdown occurred. Ceilometer, weather, air quality, radiosonde, and satellite data were analyzed for annual patterns and monthly time series of data and data correlations. The results showed a system that is strongly dominated by easterly trade winds transmitting regional oceanic patterns over terrain. Environmental disturbances affected land–atmosphere interaction for short time periods after events. Events that reduce the land signature (reducing greenness: e.g., drought and hurricanes, or reducing land pollution: e.g., COVID-19 lockdown) were evidenced to strengthen the transmission of the oceanic pattern. The most variation in near-surface atmospheric behavior was seen in the mountainous areas that were influenced by both factors: trade winds, and terrain-induced orographic lifting. As an exception to the rest of the near-surface atmospheric behavior, pollutants other than ozone did not correlate positively or negatively with stronger trade winds at all sites across the region. Instead, these pollutants were hypothesized to be more anthropogenically influenced. Once COVID-19 lockdown had persisted for 3 months, urban pollution decreased and cloud base may have increased.

Abstract
Satellite-based measurements of global ice cloud microphysical properties are sampled to develop a novel set of physical parameterizations, relating to cloud layer temperature and effective diameter De, that can be implemented for two separate applications: in numerical weather prediction models and lidar-based cloud radiative forcing studies. Ice cloud optical properties (i.e., spectral scattering and absorption) are estimated based on the effective size and habit mixture of the cloud particles. Historically, the ice cloud De has been parameterized from aircraft in situ measurements. However, aircraft-based parameterizations are opportunistic in that they only represent specific types of clouds (e.g., convective anvil, tropopause-topped cirrus) in the regions in which they were sampled and, in some cases, are limited in fully resolving the entire vertical cloud layer. Breaking away from the aircraft-based parameterization paradigm, this study is the first of its kind to attempt a parameterization of De as a function of temperature, ice water content (IWC), and lidar-derived extinction from satellite-based global oceanic measurements of ice clouds. Data from both active and passive remote sensing sensors from two of NASA’s A-Train satellites, CloudSat and CALIPSO, are collected to guide development of globally robust parameterizations of all ice cloud types and one exclusively for cirrus clouds.

Significance Statement
We derived unique parameterizations of ice crystal effective size from global satellite measurements in an effort to more robustly and consistently represent ice clouds in numerical models for weather forecasting and climate energy balance studies. Based on our results, effective ice crystal size is easily solved based on temperature and visible cloud translucence. By knowing the size of the ice crystals, we can then estimate cloud scattering and absorption. In comparison with aircraft-based parameterizations, the satellite data reveal that ice crystal effective sizes are much smaller, on global average, for ice clouds occurring in relatively warm layers (>230 K), indicating that many ice clouds are more reflective than previously believed.

Published: July 2022

Objective The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of supervised and unsupervised functional level-based exercises program for elderly inpatients on physical activity, mobility, health-related quality of life and depression status. Design A single-blinded randomised controlled trial. Setting Internal medicine service. Subjects Patients aged 65 years or older. Interventions A supervised functional level-based exercise program was applied to the intervention group by a physiotherapist, for 40 min 5 times a week during their hospitalisation. Patients in the control group were asked to perform an unsupervised functional level-based exercise program which was described by the physiotherapist during the first visit. Main measures Mobility, physical activity level and health-related quality of life were assessed at admission and discharge in both groups. Depression status was evaluated at admission and 3 months after discharge. Results Sociodemographic features between intervention group ( n = 62) and control group ( n = 62) were similar. The intervention group showed a higher increment in mobility, physical activity level and quality of life scores than the control group ( d = 0.62, p < 0.05; d = 0.57, p < 0.05; d = 1.12, p < 0.05 respectively). Inpatients in the intervention group, depression scores were lower 3 months after discharge ( d = 0.42, p < 0.05). The length of stay in the hospital was not different between the groups. Conclusions A supervised functional level-based exercise program is more effective than an unsupervised functional level-based exercise program for mobility, physical activity, depression and quality of life in elderly inpatients. These positive contributions are seen within a short period like a 5 to 10 days stay in hospital. Trial Registration ClinicalTrials.gov(NCT03516032).

Objective To investigate the antibody response to SARS-CoV-2 and identify associated factors in frontline and second-line healthcare workers (HCWs) at a large hospital in Mexico City during the first wave of COVID-19 pandemic. Methods This was a cross-sectional study of HCWs returning to work following mandatory isolation after recovering from COVID-19. Immunoglobulin (Ig) M and IgG antibodies elicited by SARS-CoV-2 were semiquantitatively measured using densitometric analysis of band intensities in lateral flow assay (LFA) devices. The mean pixel intensity (dots-per-inch [dpi]) of each band on the LFA was considered a measure of antibody titre. Results Of the 111 HCWs involved in the study, antibody responses were detected in 73/111 (66%) participants. Severe COVID symptoms was associated with old age. No differences in IgM intensity were observed between men and women, but IgG intensity was significantly higher in men than in women. Second-line HCWs produced a higher IgG intensity than firstline HCWs. The IgG intensity was high in severe cases. Conclusions For HCWs who may acquire SARS-CoV-2 infection, it is necessary to establish a routine program for detection of the virus to avoid risk of infection and spread of COVID-19.

Authors: Dersch Anne M. , Stucker Kathryn L. , Hajrasouliha Amir R. 
Published: July 2022

Background Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) lateral scaling is influenced by axial length (AL). There is a need to incorporate a method to correct this measurement bias for accurate lateral OCT measurement. Purpose To identify the correlation of optic-nerve-to-fovea distance measurement to AL by OCT) as an internal factor for lateral scaling. Methods Using Heidelberg Spectralis OCT, distance from the basement membrane opening at the optic disc margin to the centre of the fovea (BMO-fovea distance) was measured in 135 eyes (77 subjects, ages 25–85). These measurements were correlated with AL measurements from Zeiss IOLMaster 700 using linear regression before and after correction for ocular magnification. Statistical analysis including Shapiro-Wilk test for normality, Pearson correlation, and multivariate analysis of the association between disc-fovea distance and AL was performed using Wizard statistical software for mac. Results After lateral scaling, the mean distance between the fovea and BMO was 3.60 ± 0.25 mm (median: 3.59; range 3.07–4.23 mm). There was a significant positive correlation between AL and Bennett's formula-corrected BMO-fovea distance (p <0.001, r = 0.354). Conclusions While there is significant variability in BMO-fovea distances, it is positively correlated with AL. A standard method is needed to improve the lateral scaling measurements in order to unify the results for enface OCT imaging.

Published: July 2022

Purpose: The STABILISE technique has extended the treatment of aortic dissection to the thoracoabdominal aorta to achieve complete aortic remodeling. The aim of this multicenter study was to analyze the short- and midterm anatomical results of the STABILISE technique. Materials and Methods: We retrospectively analyzed patients treated with the STABILISE technique for complicated aortic dissection at 3 French academic centers. The aortic diameter at different levels was measured preoperatively, postoperatively, and at 1 year. Results: Between 2018 and 2020, 58 patients, including 47 men (average patient age: 60±11 years), were treated for type B aortic dissection in 34 cases and residual aortic dissection after type A repair in 24 cases. Three (5.2%) patients died postoperatively. Complete aortic remodeling (false lumen thrombosis and complete reapposition of the intimal flap) was achieved in 45/55 patients (81.8%), and false lumen thrombosis in the thoracic aorta was achieved in 52/55 patients (94.5%). At 1 year, with a computed tomographic (CT) scan available for 98.2% (54/55) of patients, we observed a significant decrease in the maximal thoracic aortic diameter and a significant increase in the aortic diameter at the bare-stent level compared with the preoperative CT scan. Severe aortic angulation (p=0.024) was a risk factor for incomplete aortic remodeling and significantly increased the aortic diameter (p=0.032). Chronic aortic dissection was associated with an increased risk of incomplete aortic remodeling (p=0.002). Conclusions: STABILISE for complicated aortic dissection results in false lumen thrombosis, complete reapposition of the intimal flap, and a decrease in the maximum aortic diameter in most cases. Incomplete reapposition of the intimal flap, which is more frequent in cases of chronic aortic dissection and severe aortic angulation, is a risk factor for a significant increase in the aortic diameter at the bare-stent level, and this risk justifies close follow-up and better patient selection. Clinical impact STABILISE technique for complicated aortic dissection results in false lumen thrombosis, complete aortic remodeling and a decrease in the maximum aortic diameter in most cases. At the bare-stent level, incomplete reapposition of the intimal flap, more frequent in chronic aortic dissection and severe aortic angulation, is a risk factor for an increased aortic diameter. This finding justifies close follow-up and better patient selection; thus, the STABILISE technique should be used with care in chronic aortic dissection and severe aortic angulation.

Authors: Gouveia Kyle , Harbour Eric , Gazendam Aaron , Bhandari Mohit 
Published: July 2022

Background: The purpose of this systematic review was to analyze the available literature on fixation of distal radius fractures (DRFs) under wide-awake local anesthesia no-tourniquet (WALANT), and to examine postoperative pain scores and functional outcomes, operative data including operative time and blood loss, and the frequency of adverse events. Methods: Embase, MEDLINE, Web of Science, and SCOPUS were searched from inception until May 2022 for relevant studies. Studies were screened in duplicate, and data on pain scores, functional outcomes, and adverse events were recorded. Due to methodological and statistical heterogeneity, the results are presented in a descriptive fashion. Results: Ten studies were included comprising 456 patients with closed, unilateral DRFs, of whom 226 underwent fixation under WALANT. These patients had a mean age of 52.8 ± 8.3 years, were 48% female, and had a mean follow-up time of 11.6 months (range: 6-24). Operative time for WALANT patients averaged 60.4 ± 6.5 minutes, with mean postoperative pain scores of 1.4 ± 0.6 on a 10-point scale. Studies that compared WALANT to general anesthesia found shorter hospital stays with most WALANT patients being sent home the same day, decreased postoperative pain scores, and decreased costs to the healthcare system. No adverse events were reported for WALANT patients. Conclusions: A growing body of literature reports that for closed, unilateral DRF, surgical fixation under WALANT is a safe and effective option. It allows patients to have surgery sooner, with improved pain scores and good functional outcomes, with a very low incidence of adverse events.
The Use of Indomethacin for Nocturnal Enuresis in Children With Nephrogenic Diabetes Insipidus: A Case Report and Review of the Literature
Authors: Hedin Erin , Alabbas Abdullah 
Published: July 2022

Rationale: Nocturnal enuresis is a common symptom of nephrogenic diabetes insipidus (NDI) in children. Published reports on the treatment of nocturnal enuresis in this population are scarce. Presenting concern of the patient: 2 brothers, aged 8 and 9 years, presented for outpatient pediatric nephrology follow-up. Despite being medically stable on their current medication regimen, they both experienced significant distress due to primary nocturnal enuresis, including decreased self-esteem and social stress. Diagnoses: The brothers had primary nocturnal enuresis related to their high urine output from NDI. Interventions: we describe a case of 2 brothers with NDI in whom indomethacin was added to their pharmacologic treatment specifically to address enuresis. Outcome: Both brothers experienced a significant decrease in the frequency of nocturnal enuresis and improvement in their perceived quality of life. Teaching points: Nocturnal enuresis is a bothersome symptom of NDI with adverse psychological effects. Indomethacin can improve nocturnal enuresis in some patients. Treatment with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs carries a risk of gastrointestinal and kidney side effects. We advocate for a patient-centered approach to the treatment of NDI which includes optimizing both the medical and the psychological needs of the patient.

Published: July 2022

Background: Non-communicable diseases and psychiatric pathologies are the health problems that most affect the population in the United States. Objective: This study aimed to examine the mediating role of patient-centered communication (PCC) in the relationship between satisfaction with medical care, physical health, and emotional well-being in American men. Methods: A cross-sectional - predictive study was carried out. The variables analyzed were satisfaction with medical care, physical health, and emotional well-being. Information from the Health Information National Trends Survey Data (HINTS) was used; HINTS 5, cycle 3 (collected between January and June 2019) and 4 (2020). Data from 3338 men were considered (mean age: M = 55.40, SD = 19.53). Data analyses were carried out using structural equation modeling (SEM) to represent the statistical mediation model with latent and observable variables. Results: Analyses showed that the variables were significantly related ( P < .01). In the mediation model, there is evidence that satisfaction predicts communication (β = .764, P < .001) and this, in turn, is related to physical health (β = .079, P = .007) and emotional well-being (β = .145, P < .001). In addition, the standardized estimates of the structural multiple mediation model presented acceptable goodness-of-fit indices: χ2/gl = 2.24, CFI = 0.999, TLI = 0.999, RMSEA = 0.019 [90% CI: 0.013-0.022], SRMR = 0.018. Conclusion: Patient-centered communication plays a significant dual mediating role in the relationship between satisfaction with medical care, physical health, and emotional well-being, respectively. Therefore, PCC is essential in healthcare for American men.

Published: July 2022

Background: Preoperative coracoid dimensions may affect the size of the bone graft transferred to the glenoid rim and thus the postoperative outcomes of Latarjet coracoid transfer. Purpose: To determine the effect of coracoid length and width as measured on preoperative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) on outcomes after Latarjet treatment of anterior shoulder instability. Study Design: Cohort study; Level of evidence, 3. Methods: Included were patients who underwent primary Latarjet surgery between 2009 and 2019 and had preoperative MRI scans and minimum 2-year postoperative outcomes. Longitudinal coracoid length was measured on axial MRI sequences as the distance from the coracoclavicular ligament insertion to the distal tip. Comparisons were made between shorter and longer coracoids and between narrower and wider coracoids. The outcomes of interest were recurrent instability, reoperation, complications, return to sport (RTS), and American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) score. Independent-samples t test, Mann-Whitney test, chi-square test, and Fisher exact test were used to compare outcomes between groups, and univariate correlation coefficients were calculated to evaluate the relationships between demographics and coracoid dimensions. Results: Overall, 56 patients were included (mean age, 28.4 years). The mean ± SD coracoid length was 21.6 ± 2.4 mm and width 10.0 ± 1.0 mm. Relative to patients with a longer coracoid (≥22 mm; n = 26), patients with a shorter coracoid (<22 mm; n = 30) had similar rates of recurrent instability (shorter vs longer; 6.7% vs 3.8%), complications (10.0% vs 15.4%), reoperation (3.3% vs 7.7%), and RTS (76.5% vs 58.8%) and similar postoperative ASES scores (85.0 vs 81.6) ( P ≥ .05 for all). Likewise, relative to patients with a wider coracoid (≥10 mm; n = 27), patients with a narrower coracoid (<10 mm; n = 29) had similar prevalences of recurrent instability (narrower vs wider; 6.9% vs 3.7%), complications (17.2% vs 7.4%), reoperation (3.5% vs 7.4%), and RTS (66.7% vs 68.4%) and similar postoperative ASES scores (87.1 vs 80.0) ( P ≥ .05 for all). Conclusion: Patients undergoing Latarjet coracoid transfer had similar postoperative outcomes regardless of preoperative coracoid dimensions. These findings should be confirmed in a larger cohort before further clinical recommendations are made.

Published: July 2022

The higher education system, particularly management education institutions (MEIs), is recognized as a significant source of creative talent for organizations. Organizations have to carefully select the necessary talent from MEIs. In this light, MEIs would seek to maximize their students’ creativity competencies. This exploratory research study identifies the significant boosters of creativity-competencies employing a sample survey among 269 student-respondents on the verge of completing their MBA programmes. The relationships between the identified boosters were modelled using structural equation modelling. The study found that adaptive-thinking and teamwork serve as the foundation for various other competencies, eventually fostering creativity competencies among the MBA students. The study restricts the assessment of creativity competencies concerning selected MBA institutions. The model created will serve as the basis for developing creativity-competencies in management education. This study is new to examine the relationship among the individual competencies and traits boosting the creativity competencies and test the model in MEIs.
