BackgroundSpinal cord injury (SCI) has devastating physical and social consequences for patients. Systemic administration of methylprednisolone (MP) at a higher dosage though can reduce neurological deficits following acute SCI. Still, this treatment regimen is controversial, owing to the apparent dose-related side effects and relatively minor improvement in neurological function. Therefore, this study aimed at the bibliometric analysis of published literature related to SCI treatment, which may lead to future research trends.MethodsThe literature published relating to SCI and using glucocorticoids for its treatment between 1982 and 2022 was collected and scanned in the Web of Science collection database using the keywords glucocorticoid, dexamethasone, MP, corticosteroids, and SCI, followed by using VOSviewer for bibliometric analysis of these articles.ResultsA total of 1,848 published articles and 7,448 authors on SCI and glucocorticoid usage were identified. The SCI total link strength accounts for 1,341, and MP for 762 has a strong link to neuroprotection and inflammation. The mean citation count for the top 20 most-cited articles was 682 (range: 358–1,828), where most of these were descriptive studies having focused on clinical features. The Journal of Neurotrauma was the highest-ranked journal with 6,010 citations. A total of 69 articles were published by Michael G Fehlings from the University of Toronto with 6,092 citations. The University of Toronto has published 90-related manuscripts with 7,632 citations. In contrast, 800 articles were published in the United States, with 39,633 citations and total link strength of 5,714. The second-ranked country was China, with 241 published articles and 3,403 citations.ConclusionsThe research published on applying MP in treating SCI has increased with time. Although the United States has made a significant global contribution to this important field of research, it requires rigorous clinical trials designed to verify the therapeutic role of MP in SCI and its appropriate dosage to find solutions for neurological recovery.

BackgroundThere is a need for complete and accurate epidemiological studies for traumatic brain injury (TBI). Secondary use of administrative data can provide country-specific population data across the full spectrum of disease.AimThis study aims to provide a population-based overview of Belgian TBI hospital admissions as well as their health-related and employment outcomes.MethodsA combined administrative dataset with deterministic linkage at individual level was used to assess all TBI hospitalizations in Belgium during the year 2016. Discharge data were used for patient selection and description of injuries. Claims data represented the health services used by the patient and health-related follow-up beyond hospitalization. Finally, social security data gave insight in changes to employment situation.ResultsA total of 17,086 patients with TBI were identified, with falls as the predominant cause of injury. Diffuse intracranial injury was the most common type of TBI and 53% had injuries to other body regions as well. In-hospital mortality was 6%. The median length of hospital stay was 2 days, with 20% being admitted to intensive care and 28% undergoing surgery. After hospitalization, 23% had inpatient rehabilitation. Among adults in the labor force pre-injury, 72% of patients with mild TBI and 59% with moderate-to-severe TBI returned to work within 1 year post-injury.DiscussionAdministrative data are a valuable resource for population research. Some limitations need to be considered, however, which can in part be overcome by enrichment of administrative datasets with other data sources such as from trauma registries.

IntroductionAs the first bibliometric analysis of COVID-19 and immune responses, this study will provide a comprehensive overview of the latest research advances. We attempt to summarize the scientific productivity and cooperation across countries and institutions using the bibliometric methodology. Meanwhile, using clustering analysis of keywords, we revealed the evolution of research hotspots and predicted future research focuses, thereby providing valuable information for the follow-up studies.MethodsWe selected publications on COVID-19 and immune response using our pre-designed search strategy. Web of Science was applied to screen the eligible publications for subsequent bibliometric analyses. GraphPad Prism 8.0, VOSviewer, and CiteSpace were applied to analyze the research trends and compared the contributions of countries, authors, institutions, and journals to the global publications in this field.ResultsWe identified 2,200 publications on COVID-19 and immune response published between December 1, 2019, and April 25, 2022, with a total of 3,154 citations. The United States (611), China (353), and Germany (209) ranked the top three in terms of the number of publications, accounting for 53.3% of the total articles. Among the top 15 institutions publishing articles in this area, four were from France, four were from the United States, and three were from China. The journal Frontiers in Immunology published the most articles (178) related to COVID-19 and immune response. Alessandro Sette (31 publications) from the United States were the most productive and influential scholar in this field, whose publications with the most citation frequency (3,633). Furthermore, the development and evaluation of vaccines might become a hotspot in relevant scope.ConclusionsThe United States makes the most indispensable contribution in this field in terms of publication numbers, total citations, and H-index. Although publications from China also take the lead regarding quality and quantity, their international cooperation and preclinical research need to be further strengthened. Regarding the citation frequency and the total number of published articles, the latest research progress might be tracked in the top-ranking journals in this field. By analyzing the chronological order of the appearance of retrieved keywords, we speculated that vaccine-related research might be the novel focus in this field.

Published: August 2022

BackgroundInter-pregnancy interval (IPI) is the elapse of time between the end of one pregnancy and the conception of another pregnancy, while birth to pregnancy interval, is the time gap between live birth and the conception of the next pregnancy. Hence, this study assessed the effects of short inter-pregnancy intervals on perinatal outcomes among women who gave birth in public health institutions of Assosa zone, North-west Ethiopia.MethodsAn institution-based prospective cohort study was conducted among 456 mothers who visited health facilities for the fourth antenatal care appointment (152 exposed and 304 non-exposed). Women who gave their recent birth with the pregnancy interval of &lt;24 months or/and had an abortion history of &lt;6 months were considered as exposed otherwise non-exposed. Data was collected through face-to-face interviews by using questionnaires and checklists. The collected data was entered using Epi-data and exported to STATA for analysis. A log-binomial regression model was used to identify the effect of short inter-pregnancy intervals on the perinatal outcomes.ResultsThe overall incidence of adverse perinatal outcomes is 24%. Mothers who had short inter-pregnancy intervals have two times the risk to develop low birth weight (RR: 2.1, 95%CI: 1.16–3.82), and low Apgar score (RR: 2.1, 95%CI: 1.06–2.69). Similarly, the risk to develop small for gestational age (RR: 2.6, 95% CI: 1.19–7.54), and preterm birth (RR: 3.14, 95%CI: 1.05–4.66) was about 3 times among mothers who had short inter-pregnancy interval compared to mothers who had an optimal inter-pregnancy interval.ConclusionShort inter-pregnancy interval increases the risk of low birth weight, preterm birth, small for gestational age, and low Apgar score. Health Policy makers, National health managers and health care providers should work on increasing the awareness of optimal inter-pregnancy intervals and postpartum family planning utilization to reduce the effect of short inter-pregnancy intervals on adverse perinatal outcomes.

As we look for traces of ancient life on Mars, we need to consider the impact of ionizing radiation in the biosignature preservation process. Here, we irradiated two organic rich terrestrial samples (Enspel and Messel shales) that have Martian analog mineralogies, with simulated cosmic rays to a dose of 0.9 MGy, equivalent of 15 million years of radiation exposure on the Martian surface. We compared a range of biosignatures before and after exposure, including total organic carbon, bulk stable carbon isotope ratios, diagnostic lipid biomarkers (hopanes and steranes), and Raman signatures akin to those collected by the Scanning Habitable Environments with Raman and Luminescence for Organics and Chemicals (SHERLOC) instrument on Perseverance. While we did not observe a significant difference in total organic carbon, bulk stable carbon isotopes, or Raman G-band signatures, we found that five lipid biomarkers decreased by a factor of two to three in the Enspel shale. This degree of degradation exceeds current predictions by existing models or experimental studies in organic rich samples and challenges our current understanding of complex biosignatures under ionizing irradiation.

BackgroundA technique for reconstructing facial units with matching colour, similar texture and sufficient contour is ideal for patients with various facial defects. The current report aimed to present the experience of the authors in facial reconstruction using pre-expanded scalp flaps combined with laser hair removal.MethodsFrom January 2014 to August 2021, 43 patients with different facial defects, such as post-burn scar and congenital nevus, were treated using this surgical technique that involved tissue expansion, scalp flap transfer and laser hair removal. Facial defects were artificially classified into three regions (forehead, n = 19; cheek, n = 15; and lips and chin, n = 9). Pedicle delaying and division were performed in patients who underwent reconstruction with pedicled flaps.ResultsOf the included patients, one presented with haematoma, one with infection and three had distal necrosis after expanded scalp flap transfer. The donor site was primarily closed in all patients. Further, all patients were successfully treated without major complications. The texture, colour and contour of the scalp flap after laser hair removal matched well with the surrounding skin tissues at 2–30-month follow-up.ConclusionReconstruction using pre-expanded scalp flaps combined with laser hair removal is an effective and reliable option for facial reconstruction with excellent colour and texture match.

Published: August 2022

A pandemia da COVID-19 pelo novo coronavírus (SARS-CoV-2) vem sendo um desafio sanitário de enormes parâmetros. Patologia nova, alta taxa de contaminação acabam por tornar a situação mais complexa. O presente artigo busca identificar médicos atuantes em linha de frente do tratamento de pacientes com COVID 19 que desenvolveram a Síndrome de Burnout durante a pandemia. Os profissionais da saúde representam um grupo de alto risco de infecção pelo COVID-19 por lidarem diretamente com pacientes infectados. O medo pela contaminação, pela transmissão a seus familiares além de toda sobrecarga de trabalho acabam por aumentar o risco de um esgotamento profissional. A Síndrome de Burnout (SB) configura-se como um fenômeno psicossocial, resultado da inabilidade de ajuste e confronto a estressores aos quais o profissional é apresentado no cotidiano e relacionado ao trabalho, sem a habilidade de atenuar esses sintomas e tampouco se revigorar. Este estudo apresenta como objetivo geral identificar o desenvolvimento da Síndrome de Burnout no profissional de saúde atuante na linha de frente contra o coronavírus em um hospital particular de uma cidade de médio porte no interior de Minas Gerais.

AUTOMATICALLY GENERATE GIT COMMIT MESSAGES USING NMT
Authors: Bhavsar Antara , H M Chithra Smitha , Gupta Anchal , M S Nagajyothi 
Published: August 2022

<p> Commit messages are a valuable resource in the comprehension of software evolution since they provide a record of changes such as feature additions and bug repairs. Unfortunately, programmers often neglect to write good commit messages. Different techniques have been proposed to help programmers by automatically writing these messages. These techniques are effective at describing what changed, but are often verbose and lack context for understanding the rationale behind a change. In contrast, humans write messages that are short and summarize the high-level rationale. In this paper, we adapt Neural Machine Translation (NMT) to automatically “translate” diffs into commit messages. We will train an NMT algorithm using a corpus of diffs and human-written commit messages from the top 1k GitHub projects. We will also design a filter to help ensure that we only train the algorithm on higher-quality commit messages. Our evaluation uncovers a pattern in which the messages we generate tend to be either very high or very low quality.</p>
Investigating the Effects of Mapping Gaze-selected Sub-menus to a Cellphone Touchscreen on Target Selection in AR
Authors: Tian Yang , Zheng Yulin , Zhao Shengdong 
Published: August 2022

<p>Eye gaze is potentially fast and ergonomic for target selection in AR. Nevertheless, it is reported to be inaccurate. To compensate for its low accuracy in selecting targets in an AR menu, previous researchers proposed dividing a menu into several sub-menus where targets are arranged regularly, and mapping the one pointed by eye gaze to a Google Glass’ touchpad on which the user confirms the selection of a target in the sub-menu via swipe or tap. However, whether this technique was effective in enhancing the basic gaze-touch target selection was not investigated. We coined the terminology TangibleCounterpart for this technique's essence and suggested using a cellphone touchscreen as the “tangible counterpart” for sub-menus. Further, we proposed the design space of the cellphone-based TangibleCounterpart concept that includes three dimensions, i.e., sub-menu size, the way a user holds the cellphone, and the touch technique for selection confirmation. Our empirical study showed that only when participants used two thumbs for selection confirmation (TH) and the sub-menu size was 2 rows * 1 column (2R1C) or 2 rows * 2 columns (2R2C), the error rates were significantly smaller than that under the basic gaze-touch target selection; and speeds were not compromised. The best performance (error rate: mean = 4%, SD = 2.6%; completion time: mean = 1.2s, SD = 0.2s) was achieved when participants used tapping for selection confirmation under TH and 2R2C. </p>
