A Matter of Time: The Life Course Implications of Deferred Action for Undocumented Latin American Immigrants in the United States
Authors: García Angela S , Diaz-Strong Daysi X , Rodriguez Rodriguez Yunuen 
Published: August 2022

Abstract
Scholars have long demonstrated that the state monopolizes time and imposes waiting, with disproportional impacts for marginalized groups relative to other political subjects. Extending this literature with a life course framework, we analyze how receipt of legal relief in different periods of life shapes the impacts of policy provisions. We draw on the case of undocumented Latin American immigrants targeted by executive immigration actions (DACA and DAPA), designed to extend temporary access to employment, protection from deportation, and the ability to exit and legally re-enter the United States. Through a comparative analysis of interviews (N = 82) across three age cohorts—coming of age, young adult, and middle age—we find the impact of these state-extended benefits differentially concentrates in the domains of schooling, employment, and family. The paper contributes an analysis of state power through a life course framework, deepening understanding of undocumented immigrants’ experiences of state-controlled time, waiting, and “illegality.”

Abstract
There are two main beef cattle breed types: Bos Taurus (BT) and Bos Indicus (BI). Past research has demonstrated various expected differences in growth, temperament, feeding behavior, and carcass characteristics between these breed types when administered varying levels of anabolic implant. However, little is known about the differences in expected economic returns between these cattle types. The objective of this research is to simulate and compare the expected net returns of BT, Angus (AN) steers and BI influenced, Santa Gertrudis (SG) steers, with moderate or high intensity levels of implants relative to a control with no implant. The animal performance and carcass data for this economic analysis was provided from a recent feeding experiment of AN and SG influenced steers. In the experiment, sixty steers were stratified by weight and breed in a 2 × 3 factorial design examining the two different breeds: AN (N = 38) or SG influenced (N = 22), and three implant strategies: no implant (N = 20), a moderate intensity implant protocol (d0 implant: Revalor-G, d56 implant: Revalor-IS, d112 implant: Revalor-S; n=20), or a high intensity implant protocol (d0 implant: Revalor-IS, d56 implant: Revalor-S, d112 implant: Revalor-200; N = 20). The steers performance and carcass data were used together with publicly available price and input costs data in the simulation of net returns per animal for each of the treatment groups. Results demonstrated that both moderate and high intensity implanted BT steers have higher expected net return (US$78.70/hd. and US$75.84/hd., respectively) compared to BI moderate and high intensity implanted steers (US$47.03/hd. and $6.98/hd., respectively). Stochastic efficiency analysis with respect to a function demonstrated when certainty equivalent values are constrained to those ≥US$0, only the moderate implanted BT steers would be included in the efficient set.

Abstract
The objectives were to assess the effects of dietary Sweet Bran (Cargill Corn Milling, Blair, NE) on performance and feeding behavior of feedlot steers and determine if terminal implant pen sorting affects performance, feeding behavior, and liver abscess (LA) rate. Two hundred sixteen Angus-cross steers (253 ± 18 kg) were stratified by body weight (BW) to 36 pens. From d 0 to 60, diets contained 40% Sweet Bran (SWBR) or 25% modified distiller’s grains and 15% dry rolled corn (MOD; n = 18 pens/treatment). On d 60, steers began transition within treatments to finishing diets containing 25% Sweet Bran or 25% modified distiller’s grains (MDGS). On d 111, half of the pens for each dietary treatment were re-stratified by BW to pens (SORT) while the other half were returned to original pens (NOSORT; n = 9 pens/treatment). Steer BW and pen dry matter intake (DMI) were recorded monthly. Rate of feed disappearance was determined on d 5/6, 53/54, 104/105, and 117/118. Pen was the experimental unit for all analyses. The model included the fixed effect of diet for all pre-sort analyses; post-sort analyses included the fixed effects of diet, sort, and the interaction and the random effects of pen and the interaction of diet and pen. On d 60, SWBR had greater BW than MOD (P = 0.05), and SWBR had a greater average daily gain (ADG) from d 0 to 60 (P = 0.05). Though there were no differences after d 28, SWBR had greater DMI d 0 to 28 (P = 0.05). From d 60 to 88, SWBR tended to have lesser ADG than MOD (P = 0.09). Post-sort (d 111 to 196), SWBR tended to have lesser ADG than MOD (P = 0.06), and SORT had a greater rate of feed disappearance than NOSORT (d 117/118; P = 0.01); there were no differences on other dates (Diet: P ≥ 0.38). For final BW, there was a tendency for MOD to be greater than SWBR, and SORT tended to be greater than NOSORT (Diet: P = 0.06; Sort: P = 0.10). Pre- and post-sort ruminal pH had no treatment by day differences (P ≥ 0.77). LA incidence averaged 25%, though rate was not affected by diet, sorting, or the interaction (P ≥ 0.16). Overall, there were no dietary differences in feed disappearance rates, though SORT steers had greater rate of feed disappearance than NOSORT steers on d 117/118. Nominal differences in feeding behavior were noted and including Sweet Bran in the diet was beneficial in the growing period as cattle adjusted to the feedlot.

Authors: Tsuboi Kotaro , Guo Yukun , Wang Jie , White Elizabeth , Mershon Sam , Kamei Motohiro , Huang David , Jia Yali , Hwang Thomas S. , Bailey Steven T. 
Published: August 2022

Purpose:
To evaluate intraretinal cystoid spaces in patients with idiopathic macular hole (MH).

Methods:
Retrospective cohort study included consecutive patients with full-thickness MH who underwent successful MH surgery and 12 months of follow-up. Custom software was applied to preoperative optical coherence tomography scans to generate fluid volume. Inner fluid volume was defined as cystoid spaces in the inner nuclear layer, and outer fluid volume was defined as cystoid spaces in Henle fiber layer of the outer nuclear layer.

Results:
Thirty-nine eyes from 39 participants were included. Postoperative 12-month visual acuity correlated with both inner fluid volume and minimum MH size (both P < 0.05) but not outer fluid volume. Inner fluid volume positively correlated with minimum MH size (P = 0.0003). After accounting for minimum MH size with multivariable analysis, inner fluid volume effect on VA remained significant (P = 0.025). After dividing inner fluid volume into tertiles, mean baseline visual acuity was 20/50 in eyes with small inner fluid volume, and was 20/125 in eyes with large inner fluid volume (P = 0.0039). Mean postoperative 12-month visual acuity was 20/20 in eyes with small inner fluid volume compared with 20/32 in eyes with large inner fluid volume (P = 0.019).

Conclusion:
Increased inner fluid volume was associated with worse postoperative VA.

Authors: Romero-Morales Veronica A. , Peiris Timothy J. , Somisetty Swathi , Santina Ahmad , Lu Anthony , Sarraf David 
Published: August 2022

Purpose:
To report a case of nonparaneoplastic autoimmune retinopathy in a patient with a diagnosis of Lambert–Eaton myasthenic syndrome.

Methods:
Case report. Main outcome measures included findings on retinal examination and analysis of fundus autofluorescence, spectral-domain optical coherence tomography, and full-field electroretinogram. Vitamin A levels and results of antiretinal antibody testing and paraneoplastic workup are also presented.

Results:
A 47-year-old male presented with a 1-year history of bilateral vision loss and nyctalopia. Past medical history was significant for Lambert–Eaton myasthenic syndrome, confirmed by positive voltage-gated calcium channel antibodies, and thymectomy reported as thymic follicular hyperplasia. Optical coherence tomography showed bilateral diffuse outer retinal atrophy and ellipsoid zone loss. Fundus autofluorescence displayed a bull's pattern of hyperautofluorescence around each fovea. Full-field electroretinogram showed an extinguished rod response and a severely depressed cone response in each eye.

Conclusion:
We describe a case of nonparaneoplastic autoimmune retinopathy in a patient with Lambert–Eaton myasthenic syndrome. Multimodal retinal imaging and electroretinogram confirmed the presence of autoimmune retinopathy with severe rod–cone degeneration. The association of this myasthenic syndrome with AIR is novel.

Published: August 2022

Abstract

Purpose:
The aim of this study is to describe the clinical and multimodal imaging findings in patients with macular atrophy following macular hole surgery assisted by Membrane Blue Dual.

Method:
This study is a monocenter, retrospective, observational case series that included patients who presented macular atrophy following macular hole surgery.

Results:
Among the patients included in this study, four were operated for idiopathic macular hole and one for total retinal detachment associated with macular hole. In all patients the internal limiting membrane was brittle and adherent and multiple stains were required. One month postoperatively all patients showed a reduced visual acuity excepted the patient with total retinal detachment. At fundus examination all patients showed patchy atrophy with a mottled hypo- and hyperpigmented appearance in the macular region. Optical coherence tomography scans demonstrated a closed macular hole with retinal thinning, disruption of the external retinal layers and irregular retinal pigment epithelium thickening. Fundus autofluorescence showed a well-defined area of both hypo- and hyper-autofluorescence involving the macular area.

Conclusions:
Macular atrophy following Membrane Blue Dual assisted internal limiting membrane peeling represents a severe complication that vitreoretinal surgeons should be aware of and that should be taken into account in preoperative evaluation and surgical procedure planning. In order to reduce the risk of this complication, we recommend to ensure the best conditions of visibility, to reduce as much as possible the intensity and the distance of the endoillumination from the retina, and to use as little dye as possible.
ACUTE EXACERBATION OF CHRONIC CENTRAL SEROUS CHORIORETINOPATHY AT THE SITE OF A RETINAL PIGMENT EPITHELIUM APERTURE
Authors: Abramowicz Stéphane , Pasteels Brigitte , Postelmans Laurence 
Published: August 2022

Purpose:
To describe an atypical case of chronic central serous chorioretinopathy with acute exacerbation consisting of severe exudation at the site of a retinal pigment epithelium aperture.

Methods:
Case report.

Results:
A 39-year-old man presented with a recurrence of central serous chorioretinopathy in the right eye. Initial evaluation was notable for a retinal pigment epithelium aperture overlying a chronic avascular pigment epithelial detachment. He was initially treated with topical dorzolamide and indomethacin. During the follow-up, application of topical dermal steroid for a case of athlete's foot led to severe fibrinous exudation originating from the site of the retinal pigment epithelium aperture. Half-fluence verteporfin photodynamic therapy induced rapid and complete resolution of the retinal findings.

Conclusion:
Photodynamic therapy allowed for excellent resolution of an atypical exudative and fibrinous form of central serous chorioretinopathy associated with a retinal pigment epithelium aperture.

Published: August 2022

Objective
To determine the prevalence of endolymphatic hydrops (EH) in cochlear implant (CI) candidates with idiopathic profound sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) and its influence on the preservation of audiovestibular function after cochlear implantation.

Study Design
Prospective case series.

Setting
Tertiary referral center.

Patients
CI candidates with idiopathic progressive SNHL, but without classic EH-associated symptoms.

Interventions
Delayed intravenous gadolinium-enhanced inner ear fluid-attenuated inversion recovery magnetic resonance imaging as well as pure-tone audiograms, video head impulse tests, and vestibular evoked myogenic potentials before and 4 weeks after cochlear implantation.

Main Outcome Measures
Prevalence of EH before cochlear implantation, audiovestibular function before and after surgery in hydropic and nonhydropic ears.

Results
Thirty-two ears in 16 CI candidates were included. Nine ears (28%) with EH were detected. Although preoperative hearing thresholds, utricular function, and semicircular canal function were not different between the two groups, saccular function was reduced in hydropic ears. Ten subjects received a unilateral CI. Of these, 3 (30%) showed EH on the implanted side. There was no difference regarding postoperative hearing loss between the two groups, but the results point toward a higher vulnerability of hydropic ears with respect to loss of otolith function after cochlear implantation.

Conclusions
This is the first study showing that EH can be assumed in about one third of CI candidates with idiopathic profound SNHL, but no classic EH-associated symptoms. Preliminary results suggest that EH has no influence on the preservation of cochlear function but could be a risk factor for loss of otolith function after cochlear implantation.
Geographic Variations in Medicare Cochlear Implantations in the United States
Authors: Fujiwara Rance J. T. , Wong Emily C. , Ishiyama Akira 
Published: August 2022

Objective
To describe national practice patterns and detail geographic and temporal changes in cochlear implantations (CIs) in the Medicare population.

Study Design
Cross-sectional analysis.

Setting
Medicare B Public Use Files.

Patients
Medicare B fee-for-service patients who underwent CI from 2012 to 2019.

Intervention(s)
Cochlear implantations (Current Procedural Terminology code 69930).

Main Outcome Measures
Medicare Part B Public Use Files were used to identify all individual providers who performed CIs from 2012 to 2019. The total number of CIs performed annually was calculated for hospital referral regions (HRRs) as well as U.S. census regions to describe geographic variations and changes over the study period. Average Medicare reimbursement rates were tabulated.

Results
From 2012 of 2019, the number of CIs performed in the Medicare population increased from 1,239 to 2,429, representing a 96.0% increase. In each of the four U.S. census regions, there was a statistically significant increase in the number of CIs performed over the study period. However, of 306 HRR in the United States, cochlear implants were performed in only 117 (38.2%), with the median number of CIs in each HRRs 16.7 (interquartile range, 13–24.2) per year. The median weighted average Medicare reimbursement was $1205.49 (interquartile range, 1161.65–1253.46).

Conclusions
The number of CIs in the Medicare population has increased from 2012 to 2019. However, widespread geographic variations continue to persist in the United States and represent opportunities toward identifying and acting on the etiologies of persistent disparities in CI.
De novo interstitial deletion of 11q14.3q22 in a boy with mild intellectual disability and short stature
Authors: Kurt Colak Fatma , Eyerci Nilnur , Lafci Naz Guleray 
Published: August 2022

Background
Interstitial deletions of the 11q region are infrequent. Nonrecurrent chromosomal rearrangements are observed with high variability in size and precise breakpoints of the deleted area. Moreover heterogeneous clinical findings are observed in those harboring 11q interstitial deletions. Main clinical features associated with these deletions include mild dysmorphic findings intellectual disability and moderate developmental or speech delay

Method
Conventional high-resolution karyotyping along with microarray studies were performed for the index patient who was found to be a carrier of a de novo interstitial deletion in the long arm of chromosome 11 which is located between the 11q14 and 11q22 band regions. We also investigated the homologous chromosome with next-generation sequencing technology to search for unmasked recessive variants in genes on the nondeleted contralateral allele.

Results:
Cytogenetic analysis revealed a de novo interstitial deletion on the long arm of chromosome 11 46XYdel(11) (q14q22). Microarray analysis confirmed the deletion of 11.2Mb in length mapping from 11q14.3 to 11q22.2 [arr (GRCh37) 11q14.3q22.1(90549863_101833022)x1 dn]. Whole-exome sequencing did not detect any other genetic variant (single nucleotide variant) on the nondeleted allele.

Conclusion
This study gave us the opportunity for an attempt to define the smallest region of overlap for frequently observed clinical findings by reviewing the literature.
Advances in oral tongue reconstruction: a reconstructive paradigm and review of functional outcomes
Authors: Thompson Joshua A. , Vakharia Kalpesh T. , Hatten Kyle M. 
Published: August 2022

Purpose of review
Glossectomy remains a common treatment of oral tongue malignancies, which has a range of functional impacts depending on the extent of resection. This review aims to categorize and provide context for the approach to reconstructing these defects using recent evidence.

Recent findings
The reconstruction method of choice should be tailored to the size and location of the glossectomy defect with special consideration to replace tongue volume and preserve mobility. There has been an increasing focus on patient-reported outcomes in oral tongue reconstruction. For defects beyond one-third of the tongue, free tissue reconstruction, and more recently, the submental artery island flap yield excellent results. Advances in reconstruction of larger defects have included preoperative soft tissue planning and assessment of outcomes in total glossectomy patients with laryngeal preservation.

Summary
Depending on the defect, the appropriate reconstruction may range from healing by secondary intention to large volume free tissue transfer. In general, functional outcomes diminish with increasing size and complexity of the defect regardless of the reconstructive technique.
The role of pH-impedance monitoring in swallowing disorders
Authors: Bobin Francois , Lechien Jerome R. 
Published: August 2022

Purpose of review
To review the current evidence about the usefulness and the place of pH study in the management of patients with swallowing disorders.

Recent findings
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR) are found in approximately 30% of patients with esophageal or oropharyngeal dysphagia. Patients with suspected GERD may benefit from gastrointestinal endoscopy and proton pump inhibitors according to guidelines. The diagnosis of LPR in patients with oropharyngeal dysphagia is more controversial because there are no gold standard and diagnostic guidelines. The clinical diagnosis based on empirical therapeutic trial is a reasonable first-line strategy, but many dysphagic patients should not respond to treatment. These patients require hypopharyngeal-esophageal multichannel intraluminal impedance-pH monitoring (HEMII-pH), which is the most effective examination providing important information on GERD and LPR features. At the HEMII-pH, GERD patients often report upright (daytime) and supine (nighttime) liquid acid esophageal events with significant esophageal distal acid exposure time. LPR patients have more frequently upright (daytime) gaseous weakly acid or nonacid pharyngeal reflux events without distal esophageal acid exposure abnormalities in many times. The features of reflux at the HEMII-pH may indicate a personalized treatment for dysphagic patients combining proton pump inhibitors, alginate/magaldrate or gastroprokinetic in cases of esophageal dysmotility.

Summary
GERD and LPR are prevalent causes of dysphagia. The large number of reflux patients who do not respond to empirical treatment makes important the awareness of otolaryngologists about pH-impedance monitoring indication, features, and interpretation.
