Parsonage-Turner Syndrome After COVID-19 Vaccination
Authors: Ghanta Ramesh B. , Karistinos Anastassios , Atassi Omar H. 
Published: July 2022

Case:
One week after receiving a COVID-19 vaccine in his left deltoid, a 34-year-old man developed severe right periscapular pain that lasted 2 weeks and was followed by profound right shoulder girdle atrophy and weakness. Both the pain and motor deficits resolved over the subsequent 4 months.

Conclusion:
Parsonage-Turner syndrome (PTS) is an idiopathic brachial plexopathy that can develop in the setting of recent vaccination and lead to significant shoulder pain and weakness. Given the worldwide increase in newly vaccinated patients, orthopaedic surgeons should take detailed histories to identify potential triggers (recent vaccination or illness) that point toward PTS rather than musculoskeletal pathology.
Hematoma Formation After Hip Corticosteroid Injection in a Patient with Chronic Myelomonocytic Leukemia
Authors: Grisdela Phillip T. , Crawford Alexander M , Evans David C , von Keudell Arvind G. 
Published: July 2022

Case:
We present a 70-year-old woman with history of chronic myelomonocytic leukemia with a right thigh hematoma after a corticosteroid hip injection. Aspiration of the hematoma was attempted, but she developed a significant transfusion requirement with paresthesias in a lateral femoral cutaneous nerve distribution, prompting transfer. Imaging demonstrated no active extravasation, and she was managed conservatively. At 8-month follow-up, she had a persistent consolidated hematoma on the right side, and she subsequently died of complications of her cancer.

Conclusion:
This case demonstrates an unusual complication from a common nonoperative modality, as well as important coagulopathies that must be considered in patients with leukemia.

» Pelvic sarcomas are a rare and diverse group of tumors in terms of size and histology.» Pelvic sarcomas present a treatment challenge to the orthopaedic oncologist.» The size and location of these tumors require a varied approach to resection and reconstruction, but the tumor’s proximity to other internal structures within the pelvis (e.g., the bladder, the iliac vessels, and the bowel) makes extrication demanding.» The ideal treatment requires assembling a hemipelvectomy team that consists of an orthopaedic oncologist, a surgical oncologist, a urologist, a vascular surgeon, a gynecologic oncologist, a plastic and reconstructive surgeon, a dedicated anesthesia team, and a dedicated rehabilitation physical therapy team. Each member can use his or her expertise to address the individual aspects of the pelvic resection and achieve the optimal oncologic and functional outcome.
Interdecadal change in autumn rainfall over Southeast China and its association with tropical Pacific SST
Authors: Liu Kui , Chen Jilong , ZHOU Liantong , Wang Zhibiao , Liu Yong 
Published: July 2022

Abstract
In this paper, satellite datasets from the tropical rainfall measuring mission (TRMM), global precipitation climatology project (GPCP), and international satellite cloud climatology project (ISCCP) are used to reveal the interdecadal decrease in autumn rainfall in Southeast China (SEC) after 1990, along with Japan Meteorological Agency (JRA-55) reanalysis and observational rainfall datasets from the National Climate Center (NCC) of China, by means of the correlation coefficient and fast Fourier transformation (FFT) low-pass filter. The close and robust relationship between the interdecadal variation in autumn rainfall in SEC and sea surface temperature (SST) in the tropical Pacific is investigated. The most significant and stable region of correlation is located in 10°S–10°N, 160°E–160°W, in which there also exists interdecadal warming after 1990. Furthermore, the interdecadal warming of SST can induce Gill responses of the atmosphere: an cyclone anomaly is produced on each side of the equator in the lower troposphere, with a westerly anomaly to the west of the dateline. However, an anticyclone anomaly is produced in the upper troposphere. In particular, the cyclone anomaly on the northern side of the equator is located in the Northwest Pacific (WNP), and its ambient northerly airflow weakens meridional water vapor transport, in favor of the interdecadal decrease in SEC rainfall after 1990, as well as the local descending motion and low-troposphere divergence. In addition, the experiments also confirm that the interdecadal warming in the region (10°S–10°N, 160°E–160°W) would motivate the atmospheric Gill response and thereby cause the sinking motion in SEC and support the interdecadal decrease in autumn rainfall in SEC.
Impact of land use land cover on variation of urban heat island characteristics and surface energy fluxes using WRF and Urban Canopy Model over Metropolitan cities of India
Authors: Sultana Sabiha , Satyanarayana A.N.V. 
Published: July 2022

Abstract
The present study focuses on the assessment of urban heat island (UHI) and urban energy fluxes over Indianmetropolitan cities. For this purpose, a high resolution numerical Weather Research and Forecasting model (WRF) andacoupled single layer urban canopy model (WRF-UCM) has been implemented over Delhi, Kolkata and Hyderabad to evaluate the performance of these models in capturing the impact of urban areas in simulating the UHI over different land use land cover (LULC). The model initial conditions are obtained from NCEP-FNL reanalysis data. The model simulations reveal that the air temperature at 2 m height (T2) and UHIintensityareoverestimated by WRF whereas theWRF-UCM simulationsare matching well with ERA5-Land reanalysis data considered as observations. For the WRF-UCM simulation, thestatistical errorsin T2 and UHI intensity are within the desirable limits and the index of agreement (IoA) is more than 0.8 over the built-up areas (BA).By comparing with the satellite observations the relative surface UHI is noticed to better captured over the BA by WRF-UCM simulation. The sensible heat fluxsimulated by WRF is highly overestimated whereas WRF-UCM is in good agreementwith the satellite observation over the BA. Interestingly, the latent heat flux is reasonably well simulatedover all the LULC classes.The results derived from the present study have shown the performance of WRF-UCM in simulating the spatial variation of UHI and fluxes of sensible and latent heat related varied LULC classifications over metropolitan cities of India.

Abstract
Our objective was to evaluate the effects of dose, start and application interval of recombinant bovine somatotropin (rbST) on performance, health, and reproduction parameters of 180 crossbred Holstein x Gyr dairy cows (¾ and 7/8). The statistical design in a 2 x 2 x 2 factorial design included: application dose (250 or 500 mg) x starts of application (40 or 63 days in milk – DIM) x application interval (12 or 14 d). The treatments with 500 mg – rbST (rbST 500) resulted in increased milk production, 3.5% fat-corrected milk (FCM), and energy-corrected milk (ECM). In the factorial design analysis, an increase in the production of FCM, ECM, and milk solids production (kg/d) were observed when the rbST 500 started at 63 DIM, while for the animals that received 250 mg – rbST was observed increase in milk production (kg/d), FCM, ECM, and milk solids production (kg/d) when it was performed every 12 d. In rbST 500 there was an increase in the number of open days and number of services per pregnancy (P = 0.01). The Holstein-Gyr cows (¾ and 7/8) showed better response to rbST when treated with 500 mg, started at 63 DIM, and performed every 14 d.
Why Are Only Some Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder Misclassified by the Social Communication Questionnaire? An Empirical Investigation of Individual Differences in Sensitivity and Specificity in a Clinic-Referred Sample
Authors: Lee Chimei M. , Altschuler Melody R , Esler Amy N. , Burrows Catherine A. , Hudock Rebekah L. 
Published: July 2022

Abstract
Background
The Social Communication Questionnaire (SCQ) is a screening checklist for autism spectrum disorder (ASD) commonly used in research and clinical practice. While the original validation study suggested that the SCQ was an accurate ASD screener with satisfactory sensitivity and specificity, subsequent studies have yielded mixed results, with some revealing low sensitivity, low specificity, and low utility as a screening tool. However, it is unknown for whom the SCQ is effective versus ineffective as a screening tool.
Method
The present study examined the psychometric properties of the SCQ as well as the individual difference characteristics of 187 individuals with and without autism spectrum disorder (ASD) who were misclassified or accurately classified by the SCQ in a clinical-referred sample.
Results
The SCQ showed suboptimal sensitivity and specificity, regardless of age and sex. Compared to true positives, individuals classified as false positives displayed greater externalizing and internalizing problems, whereas individuals classified as false negatives displayed better social communication and adaptive skills.
Conclusions
The findings suggest non-autistic developmental and behavioral individual difference characteristics may explain high rates of misclassification using the SCQ. The SCQ may be less useful as a screener for young children with internalizing and externalizing symptoms and other more complex clinical presentations.

Authors: Meng Fanchao , Qi Yanjie , Chen Xu , Yan Xiuping , Huang Huanhuan , He Fan 
Published: July 2022

Abstract
Background: The relationship between the coexistence of depression and moderate chronic kidney disease (CKD) and mortality is unclear and we aimed to investigate their relationship. Methods: We studied 24412 participants from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2005-2014 with mortality follow-up assessment in 2015. Four groups were created based on depression and CKD status: Group 1, no depression and no CKD; Group 2, depression present and no CKD; Group 3: no depression and CKD present; Group 4: depression present and CKD present. Moderate CKD was defined as an estimated glomerular filtration rate of 15-59 mL/min/1.73 m2 (Stage 3-4) or one-time urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio ≥30 mg/g. Depressoin was defined as the 9-item Patient Health Questionnaire score of 10 or more. Cox proportional hazards regression models were used to calculate the multivariate-adjusted hazard ratios (HRs) of death for Group 4 with other groups. Results: Over a mean follow-up of 5.8 years, 1783 deaths were documented, including 338 deaths from cardiovascular disease (CVD). The HR for all-cause mortality in Group 4 was 3.62 (95% CI: 2.69-4.87), 2.99 (1.92-4.66), and 1.75 (1.29-2.37) when compared with Group 1, 2, and 3, respectively. The HR for CVD mortality in Group 4 was 3.89 (1.68-9.00), 1.90 (0.86-4.21), and 1.97 (1.17-3.32) when compared with Group 1, 2, and 3, respectively.Conclusions: The coexistence of depression and moderate CKD increased the risk of all-cause mortality, beyond that due to having either depression or CKD alone. Moreover, depression increases the risk of CVD mortality in individuals with moderate CKD.

Abstract
Background: The social determinants of health (SDOH) are the conditions in which people are born, grow, work, live, and age. Lack of SDOH training of dental providers on SDOH may result in suboptimal care provided to pediatric dental patients and their families. The purpose of this pilot study is to assess the feasibility and acceptability of SDOH screening and referral by pediatric dentistry residents and faculty in the dental clinics of Family Health Centers at NYU Langone (FHC), a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) network in Brooklyn, NY.Methods: Guided by the Implementation Outcomes Framework, 15 pediatric dentists and 40 pediatric dental patient–parent/guardian dyads who visited FHC in 2020-2021 for recall or treatment appointments participated in this study. The a priori feasibility and acceptability criteria for these outcomes were that after completing the Parent Adversity Scale (a validated SDOH screening tool), >80% of the participating parents/guardians would feel comfortable completing SDOH screening and referral at the dental clinic (acceptable) and >80% of the participating parents/guardians who endorsed SDOH needs would be successfully referred to an assigned counselor at the Family Support Center (feasible). The key covariate was age of the pediatric patient.Results: The mean age of the pediatric dental patients was 7.3 y (SD=3.0). Most of the participating parents/guardians were the mothers of the pediatric dental patients (87.5%) and self-reported as being Hispanic (65.0%). Post-intervention, 83.9% of the participating parents/guardians who expressed an SDOH need were successfully referred to an assigned counselor at the Family Support Center for follow-up and 95.0% of the participating parents/guardians felt comfortable completing the questionnaire at the dental clinic, surpassing the a priori feasibility and acceptability criteria, respectively. Further, while most (80.0%) of the participating dental providers reported being trained in SDOH, only one-third (33.3%) usually or always assess SDOH for their pediatric dental patients and most (53.8%) felt minimally comfortable discussing challenges faced by pediatric dental patient families and referring patients to resources in the community.Conclusions: This study provides novel evidence of the feasibility and acceptability of SDOH screening and referral by dentists in the pediatric dental clinics of an FQHC network.

Published: July 2022

Abstract
Despite the diversity and functional importance of invertebrates, predicting their response to global warming remains challenging as it requires extensive measurements of physiological performance or rarely available high-resolution distribution data. Mechanistic models can help overcome these limitations by generalizing fundamental physiological processes. However, their predictions typically omit the effects of species interactions. Movement is a key process of species interactions underpinning animal performance in the real world. Here, we developed an empirically-grounded mechanistic model that incorporates allometric and thermodynamic constraints on movement and predator-prey interactions. We illustrate how it can be used to quantify the thermal performance of invertebrates under current and future climatic conditions. This trait-based approach (1) contributes to our understanding of the mechanisms underlying thermal fitness, (2) allows generalized predictions of thermal performance across invertebrate species worldwide and (3) can be used to inform species distribution models and thereby help infer species range limits under climate change.
Mixture toxicity study of metal oxide nanoparticles and chlorpyrifos on earthworms at low concentrations: a short-term exposure approach
Authors: Cáceres-Wenzel Marcela I. , Bernassani Florencia N. , Fuchs Julio S. , Cortón Eduardo , Cochón Adriana C. 
Published: July 2022

Abstract
Co-exposure soil studies of pollutants are necessary for an appropriate ecological risk assessment. Here, we examined the effects of two-component mixtures of metal oxide nanoparticles (NPs, ZnO or goethite) with chlorpyrifos (CPF) under laboratory conditions in short-term artificial soil assays using Eisenia andrei earthworms. We evaluated effects on metal accumulation, oxidative stress enzymes, and neurotoxicity related biomarkers in single and combined toxicity assays. Exposure to ZnO NPs increased Zn levels compared to control in single and combined exposure (ZnO NPs + CPF) at 72 h and 7 days, respectively. In contrast, there was no indication of Fe increase in organisms exposed to goethite NPs. One of the most notable effects on oxidative stress biomarkers was produced by single exposure to goethite NPs. This shows that the worms were more sensitive to goethite NPs than to ZnO NPs, regardless of nano-structure. Statistically significant differences between single and combined exposure were found for catalase and superoxide dismutase (goethite NPs) and for glutathione S-transferase (ZnO NPs) activities, mostly at 72 h. Acetylcholinesterase and carboxylesterase activities indicated that ZnO NPs were not neurotoxic to earthworms and similar degrees of inhibition were observed after single CPF and ZnO NPs + CPF exposure. These findings suggest a necessity to evaluate mixtures of NPs with co-existing contaminants in soil, and that the nature of metal oxide NPs and exposure time are relevant factors to be considered when assessing combined toxicity, as it may have an impact on ecotoxicological risk assessment.
SVAD: Stacked Variational Autoencoder Deep Neural Network -Based Dimensionality Reduction and classification of Small Sample Size and High Dimensional Data
Authors: Srivast Neha , tayal Devendra 
Published: July 2022

Abstract
The classification problem is a major concern in the field of computational biology, especially when there are many fewer samples than features. This is referred regarded as a "curse of dimensionality" problem caused by high-dimensional sample size problems. Many strategies for dimensionality reduction have been presented, however, they all have drawbacks when it comes to high-dimensional and small sample size (HDSSS) databases, such as large variance gradients and over-fitting issues. To address these issues, we suggested a variational autoencoder based deep neural network architecture that is dynamic and based on a mathematical foundation for unsupervised learning. The objective of this research is to propose a low-error classification algorithm for limited sample numbers and high-dimensional datasets. The study's innovation is that it guarantees the permissible dimension size regardless of reduction, in contrast to several previous approaches that typically reduce the dimension too heavily. The experimental findings reveal that the suggested method outperforms existing traditional methods such as RNN, CNN, and deep network architecture.

Authors: He Meiyan , Yang Xiaoming , Zhang Zunjing , Liu Zhongda 
Published: July 2022

Abstract
Background: Pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) can impair pulmonary function (PF), especially in the elderly. However, little is known regarding which risk factors contribute to impaired PF among the elderly with pulmonary TB.Methods: From January 2019 to February 2022, the elderly who were admitted to our hospital for pulmonary TB and underwent PF testing were included in this analysis. The forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) and clinical characteristics were collected and analyzed retrospectively. The extent of impaired PF was then categorized based on the FEV1 and classified as grade 1–5. Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the risk factors for impaired PF.Results: A total of 249 patients who met the enrollment criteria were included in this analysis. According to the results of FEV1%, all patients were classified as grade 1 (n=37), grade 2 (n=46), grade 3 (n=55), grade 4 (n=56), or grade 5 (n=55). Statistical analysis showed that albumin (OR=0.928, P=0.013), body mass index (BMI)<18.5 kg/m2 (OR=4.968, P=0.046), lesion number≥3 (OR=4.229, P<0.001), male (OR=2.252, P=0.009), respiratory disease (OR=1.669, P=0.046), and cardiovascular disease (OR=2.489, P=0.027) were related to airway obstruction.Conclusions: A decline in PF is common in the elderly with pulmonary TB. The male sex, BMI<18.5 kg/m2, lesion number≥3, hypoproteinemia, and respiratory and cardiovascular comorbidities were identified as risk factors for a significant decline in PF. Our findings may be helpful to improve the current management of pulmonary TB in the elderly to save their lung function.

Abstract
Since social distancing during the COVID-19-pandemic had a profound impact on professional life, this study investigated the effect of PCR testing on on-site work. PCR screening, antibody testing, and questionnaires offered to 4,890 working adults in Lower Saxony were accompanied by data collection on demographics, family status, comorbidities, psychosocial situation, health-related behavior, and the number of work-related contacts. Relative risks (RR) with 95% confidence intervals were estimated for the associations between regular PCR testing and other work and health-related variables, respectively, and working on-site. Analyses were stratified by the suitability of work tasks for mobile office. Between April 2020 and February 2021, 1,643 employees underwent PCR testing. Whether mobile working was possible strongly influenced the work behavior. Persons whose work was suitable for mobile office (mobile workers) had a lower probability of working on-site than persons whose work was not suitable for mobile office (RR = 0.09 (95%CI: 0.07–0.12)). In mobile workers, regular PCR-testing was slightly associated with working on-site (RR = 1.19 (0.66; 2.14)). In those whose working place was unsuitable for mobile office, the corresponding RR was 0.94 (0.80; 1.09). Compared to persons without chronic diseases, chronically ill persons worked less often on-site if their workplace was suitable for mobile office (RR = 0.73 (0.40; 1.33)), but even more often if their workplace was not suitable for mobile office (RR = 1.17 (1.04; 1.33)). If work was suitable for mobile office, regular PCR testing did not have a strong effect on presence at the work site. Trial registration: An ethics vote of the responsible medical association (Lower Saxony, Germany) retrospectively approved the evaluation of the collected subject data in a pseudonymized form in the context of medical studies (No. Bo/30/2020; Bo/31/2020; Bo/32/2020).
