Background
Gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men (gbMSM) remain disproportionately affected by human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Interaction between psychosocial factors likely plays a role in HIV acquisition risk. We aimed to analyze the association of loneliness and self-rated attractiveness with HIV acquisition risk, and determine whether these associations were mediated by gay telephone chatlines or online dating platforms.

Methods
This cross-sectional study included HIV-negative gbMSM 16 years or older enrolled into the Momentum Health Study from February 2012 to February 2015. Loneliness, self-rated attractiveness (exposures) and use of gay chatlines or online dating platforms (mediators) were assessed through self-interviews. Human immunodeficiency virus acquisition risk (outcome) was assessed by the HIV Incidence Risk Index. Weighted logistic regression modeled the association and moderation effect between exposures and outcome. Mediation models estimated 3-way direct effect among exposures, mediators, and outcome.

Results
Of 542 gbMSM, those who were lonely (adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 1.54; 95% confidence intervals [CI], 1.04–2.28) and attractive (aOR, 1.69; 95% CI, 1.04–2.76) had increased odds for HIV acquisition risk. Our moderation analysis demonstrated a heightened joint effect among lonely and attractive participants (aOR, 1.70; 95% CI, 1.08–2.65). Use of gay telephone chatlines or online dating platforms mediated 30.5% of the association between loneliness and HIV acquisition risk, but did not mediate attractiveness and HIV acquisition risk.

Conclusions
Our findings suggest that the provision of interventions focusing on mental health support and safer sex practices through gay telephone chatlines or online dating platforms is promising to help alleviate the HIV burden among gbMSM.

Published: July 2022

Background:
Sarcopenia has been identified as a prognostic factor among certain types of cancer. In esophageal cancer, patients are at increased risk of malnutrition and sarcopenia, ultimately contributing to poor outcomes. A systematic review was conducted to determine whether sarcopenia, defined by the skeletal muscle index, is predictive of overall survival, disease-free survival, and postoperative complications in resectable esophageal cancer.

Materials and Methods:
A systematic search of MEDLINE, EMBASE, Scopus, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library was conducted according to Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines up until January 2021. The primary outcome was overall survival; secondary outcomes included disease-free survival, pulmonary complications, and anastomotic leak.

Results:
Twenty-one studies (4 prospective; 17 retrospective; 3966 patients) were included. Sarcopenia was present in 1940 (48.1%) patients and was associated with lower overall survival [hazard ratio (HR): 1.56; 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.25–1.95; P<0.00001; I
2=71%] and disease-free survival (HR: 1.73; 95% CI: 1.04–2.87; P=0.03; I
2=51%). A decrease in skeletal muscle index, independent of sarcopenia status, was associated with lower overall survival (HR: 1.81; 95% CI: 1.20–2.73; P=0.005; I
2=92%). Sarcopenia was associated with increased odds of pulmonary complications (odds ratio: 1.86; 95% CI: 1.29–2.66; P=0.0008; I
2=41%) and increased odds of anastomotic leak (odds ratio: 1.46; 95% CI: 1.11–1.93; P=0.008; I
2=0%).

Conclusions:
Sarcopenia is a predictor of overall survival, disease-free survival, and postoperative complications in patients with resectable esophageal cancer. Studies on the modifiability of sarcopenia in the preoperative period will help determine the utility of nutritional interventions.
Postoperative Overtriage to an Intensive Care Unit Is Associated With Low Value of Care

Published: July 2022

Objective:
We test the hypothesis that for low-acuity surgical patients, postoperative intensive care unit (ICU) admission is associated with lower value of care compared with ward admission.

Background:
Overtriaging low-acuity patients to ICU consumes valuable resources and may not confer better patient outcomes. Associations among postoperative overtriage, patient outcomes, costs, and value of care have not been previously reported.

Methods:
In this longitudinal cohort study, postoperative ICU admissions were classified as overtriaged or appropriately triaged according to machine learning-based patient acuity assessments and requirements for immediate postoperative mechanical ventilation or vasopressor support. The nearest neighbors algorithm identified risk-matched control ward admissions. The primary outcome was value of care, calculated as inverse observed-to-expected mortality ratios divided by total costs.

Results:
Acuity assessments had an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.92 in generating predictions for triage classifications. Of 8592 postoperative ICU admissions, 423 (4.9%) were overtriaged. These were matched with 2155 control ward admissions with similar comorbidities, incidence of emergent surgery, immediate postoperative vital signs, and do not resuscitate order placement and rescindment patterns. Compared with controls, overtraiged admissions did not have a lower incidence of any measured complications. Total costs for admission were $16.4K for overtriage and $15.9K for controls (P=0.03). Value of care was lower for overtriaged admissions [2.9 (2.0–4.0)] compared with controls [24.2 (14.1–34.5), P<0.001].

Conclusions:
Low-acuity postoperative patients who were overtriaged to ICUs had increased total costs, no improvements in outcomes, and received low-value care.
An explicit Wiener–Hopf factorization algorithm for matrix polynomials and its exact realizations within ExactMPF package
Authors: Adukov V. M. , Adukova N. V. , Mishuris G. 
Published: July 2022

We discuss an explicit algorithm for solving the Wiener–Hopf factorization problem for matrix polynomials. Byan exact solutionof the problem, we understand the one constructed by a symbolic computation. Since the problem is, generally speaking, unstable, this requirement is crucial to guarantee that the result following from the explicit algorithm is indeed a solution of the original factorization problem. We prove that a matrix polynomial over the field of Gaussian rational numbers admits the exact Wiener–Hopf factorization if and only if its determinant is exactly factorable. Under such a condition, we adapt the explicit algorithm to the exact calculations and develop the ExactMPF package realized within the Maple Software. The package has been extensively tested. Some examples are presented in the paper, while the listing is provided in the electronic supplementary material. If, however, a matrix polynomial does not admit the exact factorization, we clarify a notion of the numerical (or approximate) factorization that can be constructed by following the explicit factorization algorithm. We highlight possible obstacles on the way and discuss a level of confidence in the final result in the case of an unstable set of partial indices. The full listing of the package ExactMPF is given in the electronic supplementary material.
Philosophical Studies of Non-Pharmacological Pain Management with Transcultural Nursing Approach
Authors: Yunani  , Rumambo Pandin Moses Glorino 
Published: July 2022

AbstractThis article will discuss the philosophical study of non-pharmacological pain management by looking at perspectives in ontology, epistemology and axiology. Pain is an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience associated with tissue damage. The impact of pain can generate tension that can stimulate the central nerve to release catecholamines that cause arterial and tachycardial constriction. This can increase the afterload and decrease the cardiac output. Pain is influenced by biological, psychological, and social factors at varying degrees. Pain is a subjective experience of the patient so in the provision of nursing care to pain patients, it is necessary to pay attention to the factors that affect pain among other cultures. Understanding and knowledge of transcultural nursing theory, one of which is the Theory of Diversity-Based Diversity and Cultural Universality by Madeleine M. Leinenger with the sunrise model, must be owned by the nurse in conducting the assessment, making the diagnosis and arrange nursing intervention. Non-pharmacological pain management also needs to be done by nurses in overcoming pain problems in patients.

AbstractMS is characterized by chronic and immune-mediated inflammatory lesions of the brain white matter, disseminated in time and space. As the technology improved over the next three decades, MRI quickly grew to become the single most important paraclinical diagnostic and monitoring tool available. A lesion will be defined as having a high T2/FLAIR signal ≥ 3 millimeters in diameter. The purpose of this study, witch includes 95 patients, was to investigate the benefit of a computer assisted detection reading using combined automated co-registration and lesion color-coding method approach, over a conventional reading approach in follow-up examinations of patients with MS, especially regarding diagnostic accuracy, inter/intra-reader agreement and required reading time. The impact of the use of a structured report on these variables will also be evaluated. The main judgment criteria will be : diagnostic accuracy (effectiveness) to assess the progression-activity of the disease based on the appearance of a T2w-FLAIR hyperintensity or a T1w enhancement on the follow-up examination, compared between consensus corrected CADR and CR readings.The reading of the examinations will be made by radiologists and radiology technician.

AbstractHow are we able to learn new behaviors without disrupting previously learned ones? To understand how the brain achieves this, we used a brain-computer interface (BCI) learning paradigm, which enables us to detect the presence of a memory of one behavior while performing another. We found that learning to use a new BCI map altered the neural activity that monkeys produced when they returned to using a familiar BCI map, in a way that was specific to the learning experience. That is, learning left a “memory trace.” This memory trace co-existed with proficient performance under the familiar map, primarily by altering dimensions of neural activity that did not impact behavior. Such a memory trace could provide the neural underpinning for the joint learning of multiple motor behaviors without interference.
Four decades of image processing: a bibliometric analysis
Authors: Khan Uzair , Khan Hikmat Ullah , Iqbal Saqib , Munir Hamza 
Published: July 2022

PurposeImage Processing is an emerging field that is used to extract information from images. In recent years, this field has received immense attention from researchers, especially in the research domains of object detection, Biomedical Imaging and Semantic segmentation. In this study, a bibliometric analysis of publications related to image processing in the Science Expanded Index Extended (SCI-Expanded) has been performed. Several parameters have been analyzed such as annual scientific production, citations per article, most cited documents, top 20 articles, most relevant authors, authors evaluation using y-index, top and most relevant sources (journals) and hot topics.Design/methodology/approachThe Bibliographic data has been extracted from the Web of Science which is well known and the world's top database of bibliographic citations of multidisciplinary areas that covers the various journals of computer science, engineering, medical and social sciences.FindingsThe research work in image processing is meager in the past decade, however, from 2014 to 2019, it increases dramatically. Recently, the IEEE Access journal is the most relevant source with an average of 115 publications per year. The USA is most productive and its publications are highly cited while China comes in second place. Image Segmentation, Feature Extraction and Medical Image Processing are hot topics in recent years. The National Natural Science Foundation of China provides 8% of all funds for Image Processing. As Image Processing is now becoming one of the most critical fields, the research productivity has enhanced during the past five years and more work is done while the era of 2005–2013 was the area with the least amount of work in this area.Originality/valueThis research is novel in this regard that no previous research focuses on Bibliometric Analysis in the Image Processing domain, which is one of the hot research areas in computer science and engineering.
It takes a whole society: why Hong Kong’s ICAC cannot succeed alone
Authors: Johnston Michael 
Published: July 2022

PurposeTo show that establishing an anti-corruption agency (ACA), by itself, is not likely to be a successful anti-corruption strategy. Instead, a solid base of social trust, participation, and support is just as essential as creating an ACA with significant powers and resources.Design/methodology/approachThis is a historical review of the origins and development of the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) of Hong Kong, and an assessment of its three-pronged approach strategy at both strategic and tactical levels.FindingsAn ACA requires broad and deep social support and participation if it is to succeed. That the ICAC remains nearly unique in developing such a base of support provides important lessons for those countries with ineffective ACAs.Originality/valueA reassessment of the ICAC after a half-century shows that the Hong Kong case, despite its familiarity, has much to teach us if we understand it in its broadest implications.
Coherency analysis of polarity reversed diffracted wavefields using local semblance
Authors: Hosseini Mohammad , Khoshnavaz M. Javad , Siahkoohi Hamid Reza 
Published: July 2022

ABSTRACTDiffractions carry out important information about subsurface features. These features include small‐scale objects, fracture zones and faults. There have been several robust pre‐ and post‐stack diffraction imaging workflows in the literature to attribute diffraction locations and properties. Most of the traditional workflows are not fully capable of dealing with polarity reversals in the case of polarity reversed diffracted wavefields. This challenge causes null measures at the location of such diffractions. To overcome this issue, which is an ongoing subject of research, we propose to implement local semblance analysis along moveout curves. To do so, the global scanning window is subdivided into smaller windows followed by semblance analysis over each window. The final coherency measure in each image point is computed by averaging the semblance measures from all the subdivided windows. We demonstrated the proposed workflow on synthetic as well as field recorded datasets in the post‐stack domain. The results prove the capability of the proposed method in circumventing polarity reversals without any need to conduct polarity correction prior to imaging. At the end, we studied the seismic imaging resolution in the presence of white noise through the proposed approach.

Published: July 2022

AbstractBackgroundAs health systems face increasing demands, non‐medical prescribing is a workforce redesign strategy adopted within some services. Despite successful implementation in other professional groups, non‐medical prescribing within speech pathology (SP) has not yet been described.AimsTo provide a descriptive account of the development and planned implementation of two SP prescribing models.Methods & ProceduresThe evolution of two SP‐led prescribing models, including relevant training and credentialing, for use of (1) nystatin oral drops (100,000 units/mL); and (2) lidocaine (lignocaine) and phenylephrine nasal spray (5 mg/500 μg/spray), in the outpatient setting is detailed. Challenges to implementation are outlined.Main ContributionThe development of relevant governance structures, a research evidenced‐based project evaluation framework, and an overview of training pathways and credentialing was successfully completed. However, implementation of the models was unable to be achieved. A thorough review of the requirements and a discussion of contextual considerations that had a negative influence on the implementation of SP‐led prescribing within this specific service context is provided.Conclusions & ImplicationsThe successful implementation of SP‐led prescribing is complex and highly context dependent. This work offers a discussion and review of the complexities of introducing a non‐medical prescribing model in an outpatient hospital
setting.What this paper addsWhat is already known on the subject
Allied Health prescribing is an emerging practice area aiming to reduce current pressures on health services. SP‐led prescribing has not been thoroughly investigated in the Australian context.What this study adds to existing knowledge
This study describes the development of a SP‐led prescribing process in the outpatient setting, and a thorough review and discussion of the drivers and barriers to the model's implementation.What are the potential or actual clinical implications of this work?
The successful implementation of SP‐led prescribing was identified to be complex from a legislative and operational perspective, as well as being highly context dependent. This study further highlights the importance of a thorough context evaluation and workflow mapping prior to full‐scale implementation of SP prescribing trials.
‘To Recover His Reputation Among the People of God’: Sex, Religion and the Double Standard in Presbyterian Ireland, c.1700–1838
Authors: Calvert Leanne 
Published: July 2022

AbstractThis article explores how Presbyterian religious belief and practice shaped the operation of the sexual double standard in Ireland. It argues that reputation continued to have a public element into the nineteenth century and highlights the role of religion as a locus around which male reputation was validated, restored and safeguarded. Through a system of surveillance, and underpinned by the gossip network, the Presbyterian church courts in Ireland held men to account for lapses in sexual conduct. Presbyterian men, too, were concerned to maintain clear characters. In their efforts to keep sexual indiscretions private and silence their accusers, some men even resorted to bribery, threats of violence and extortion. Others turned to the church courts to validate their reputations, recognising the place and power of the church as a source of moral authority.
Wrinkles in Time: Old Age, Gender and Temporality in Nineteenth‐Century Germany
Authors: Chappel James 
Published: July 2022

AbstractThis article explores one of the classic questions in the history of old age: what happened to the status of the elderly in the nineteenth century? How do we explain the emergence of the modern notion of an old age defined by ‘declines’ of every sort (cognitive, physical, financial)? The article focuses on Germany, then and now a global leader on this issue, and it focuses on women, whose ageing was more widely discussed than that of men. It shows that the great nineteenth‐century debate about the elderly was not about industrialisation, labour, health or social policy. It was a debate about time. The cultural understanding of the elderly changed because the culture of temporality did. The focus on futurity and the youth around 1900 is well known, as modern Germany became convulsed with imperial fantasies and electric urban life. This had, it turns out, negative repercussions for older Germans. No longer the accretions of a long past of wisdom and experience, they were identified instead with their short future of corporeal decline and death. The social attitude towards older people is therefore related to the broader social attitude towards time, history and change: a finding that might apply in other times and places, including our own.

Published: July 2022

AbstractOsimertinib is approved as the first‐line treatment for advanced non‐small cell lung cancer patients with epidermal growth factor (EGFR) mutation and for patients who develop EGFR T790M mutation during EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) treatment and disease progression. Asymptomatic elevation of aminotransferase levels is commonly observed during TKI treatment; however, significant hepatotoxicity is infrequent. Here, we report a patient with osimertinib‐related drug‐induced liver injury who was successfully managed with osimertinib rechallenge.
