A New Objective Typhoon Location Algorithm Considering a Perturbation Factor Based on FY-4A Brightness Temperature Data
Authors: Xie Tao , Chen Jiajun , Yan Junjie 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
In this paper, a new objective typhoon positioning algorithm was proposed. The algorithm uses L1 12-channel far-infrared data of the FY-4A geostationary meteorological satellite for objective positioning, verified against best path data provided by the Tropical Cyclone Data Center of the China Meteorological Administration (CMA). By calculating the tangential and radial perturbation values of infrared brightness temperature images, the perturbation factor can be obtained. By adopting the position of the maximum perturbation factor as the center of a circle and considering a radius of no more than 20 km, the position of the minimum perturbation factor was determined; this value represents the central position of the typhoon. Tropical cyclones in 2019 and 2020 were selected for objective positioning, and the objective positioning results were verified against the corresponding time in the best path dataset. The results included centralized verification results for 29 typhoons and optimal path data in 2019. The maximum average error reached 54.67 km, with an annual average typhoon positioning error of 16.15 km. The centralization verification results for 23 typhoons and optimal path data in 2020 indicated a minimum average error of 12.71 km, a maximum average error of 18.56 km, and an annual average typhoon positioning error of 14.82 km. The positioning results for these two years suggest that the longitude obtained with the perturbation factor positioning method is satisfactory, exhibiting an error of less than 20 km.

Significance Statement
The purpose of this study is to help researchers make scientific discoveries and help the development of typhoon center location technology in the future. This is important because accurate positioning of typhoon center can provide effective help for typhoon path prediction and typhoon intensity determination.
How (where) Does Music Background Hamper Driver Behaviour?
Authors: Brodsky Warren , Borowsky Avinoam 
Published: September 2022

Objective The current study examined the effects of music on Hazard Perception – a skill that serves as a proxy for safe driving. Background There is contradictory evidence whether or not music engagement leads to decremented driver performance and compromises traffic safety. Method In the study, 36 participants performed a standard Video-Based Hazard Perception Test under three aural conditions: Road and Traffic Sounds (RS); RS + Driver-Preferred Music; RS + Alternative Music. Results The results show no effect of aural backgrounds (including music) on the situation awareness portion of the driving task. Conclusion Music background might affect later stages of the driving task such as response selection and/or response execution (mitigation). Application The investigation of human factors related to vehicular control should include how (where) music might trigger failures in perception and/or behaviour.
Relaxation and creep response of the alveolar lung to diagnosis and treatments for respiratory and lung disorders
Authors: Mortazavy Beni Hamidreza , Mortazavi Hamed , Paul Gunther 
Published: September 2022

Background The lung Extracellular Matrix (ECM) contains a considerable part of the parenchymal cells. It contains three essential components: elastin and collagen within a proteoglycan (PG) viscoelastic network. Elastin provides the lung’s elasticity property, a necessity for normal breathing, while collagen prepares structural support and strength, and PGs give stability and cushioning within tissue loading. Bacterial and viral respiratory diseases are dependent on changes in the ECM ingredients, which result in an alteration of the lung tissue strength. Purpose In the present study, this variation was investigated by changing the volume ratio of the ECM ingredients in the viscoelastic model. Results As a result, the relaxation curves continuously declined by reducing the volume ratios of elastin, collagen, and PGs; subsequently, the lung stiffness decreased. Also, the Standard Linear Solid (SLS) model-based results demonstrated excellent accordance with empirical data with only minor deviations. The resting relaxation modulus and the creep modulus for the ECM tissue were 51 kPa and approximately 0.02 kPa, respectively, and the maximum total modulus of elasticity reached 121 kPa. Conclusions Moreover, this model demonstrates individual alveolar mechanical behaviours and adds another pathway to the generalized Kelvin-Voigt and Maxwell models in predicting the progress of lung diseases.

Background Complication rates in percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage (PTBD) are non-uniform and vary considerably. In addition, the impact of peri-procedural risk factors is under-investigated. Purpose To compare success and complication rates of PTBD in patients with and without accompanying technical risk factors. Material and Methods A single-center retrospective study was conducted from January 2004 to December 2016. Patients receiving PTBD due to biliary obstruction or biliary leakage were included. Technical risk factors (non-distended bile ducts, ascites, obesity, anasarca, non-compliance) were assessed. Complications were classified according to the Society of Interventional Radiology. Results In total, 372 patients were included (57.3% men, 42.7% women; mean age = 66 years). Overall, 466 PTBDs were performed. Of the patients, 70.1% presented with malignancy and biliary obstruction; 26.8% had benign biliary obstruction; 3.1% had biliary leakage. Technical risk factors were reported in 57 (15.3%) patients. Overall technical success of initial PTBD was 98.7%, primary technical success was 97.9%. In patients with non-dilatated bile ducts, primary technical success was 68.2%. Overall complication rate was 15.0% (8.1% major complications, 6.9% minor complications). Neither major nor minor complications were more frequent in patients with technical risk factors ( P > 0.05). In left-sided PTBD, hemorrhage was more frequent ( P = 0.015). Patients with malignancy were significantly more affected by drainage-related complications ( P = 0.004; odds ratio = 2.03). The mortality rate was 0.5% (n = 2). Conclusion PTBD is a safe and effective method for the treatment of biliary obstruction and biliary leaks. Complication rates are low, even in procedures with risk factors.

Background: Gastrointestinal (GI) health is considered vital to the success of peritoneal dialysis (PD) and is critically important to patients, caregivers and clinicians. However, the multiplicity of GI outcome measures in trials undermines the ability to evaluate the frequency, impact and treatment of GI symptoms in patients receiving PD. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the range and consistency of GI outcomes reported in contemporary PD trials. Study design: Systematic review. Setting and population: Individuals with kidney failure requiring PD. Selection criteria: All randomised controlled trials involving patients on PD, identified from the PUBMED, EMBASE and COCHRANE Central Registry of controlled Trials (CENTRAL) database, from January 2010 to July 2022. Interventions: Any PD-related intervention. Outcomes: The frequency and characteristics of GI outcome measures were analysed and classified. Results: Of the 324 eligible PD trials, GI outcomes were only reported in 61 (19%) trials, mostly as patient-reported outcomes (45 trials; 74%). The most frequently reported outcomes were nausea in 27 (43%), diarrhoea in 26 (43%), vomiting in 22 (36%), constipation in 21 (34%) and abdominal pain in 19 (31%) of trials. PD peritonitis was the primary non-GI outcome reported in 24 (40%) trials, followed by death in 13 (21%) trials) and exit-site infection in 9 (15%) trials). Across all trials, 172 GI outcome measures were extracted and grouped into 29 different outcomes. Nausea and diarrhoea contributed to 16% and 15% of GI outcomes, respectively, while vomiting, constipation and abdominal pain contributed to 13%, 12% and 12%, respectively. Most (90%) GI outcomes were patient-reported adverse effects with no defined metrics. Faecal microbiome was reported as the primary study outcome in 3 (100%) trials using the subjective global assessment score, GI symptom rating scale and faecal microbiological and biochemical analysis. Two trials reported nausea as a primary study outcome using symptom assessment score (SAS) and kidney disease quality of life-short-form-36. One trial each reported anorexia and abdominal pain as the primary study outcome using SAS. Bowel habits, constipation and stool type were also reported as the primary study outcome in one trial each using the Bristol stool form scale. GI bleeding was reported as the secondary outcome in three (37%) out of eight trials reporting it. Limitations: Restricted sampling frame to focus on contemporary trials. Conclusions: Despite the clinical importance of GI outcomes among patients on PD, they are reported in only 19% of PD trials, using inconsistent metrics, often as patient-reported adverse events. Efforts to standardise GI outcome reporting are critical to optimising comparability, reliability and value of trial evidence to improve outcomes for patients receiving PD.

Published: September 2022

Cleft lip and/or palate is the most commonly documented orofacial anomaly and may impact the status of health and disease of adjacent teeth along with their associated supporting structures. The authors performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to assess whether the presence of clefts altered the periodontal status of patients. The study was registered in PROSPERO (CRD42020210178). A systematic search of literature was performed utilizing unique search strings for PubMed, Scopus, and GoogleScholar as databases including gray literature from April 28, 2020 to October 3, 2020. Cross-sectional and longitudinal human studies published in the English language, providing information about periodontal disease and its association with cleft lip, alveolus, and palate. Periodontal outcome measures such as gingival index (GI), clinical attachment level (CAL), plaque index (PI), periodontal probing depth (PPD), and bleeding on probing (BOP) were utilized as the main outcome measures. Patients with clefts were predisposed to poorer periodontal outcomes. Subgroup analysis revealed compromised periodontal measures for clefts as compared to control sites without cleft which were statistically significant in terms of GI [ Z = 2.44, P = .01], CAL [ Z = 2.52, P = .01], PI [ Z = 2.76, P = .006] and not statistically significant for PPD [ Z = 0.27, P = .79] and BOP [ Z = 1.47, P = .14]. Within the limitations of the review, the authors conclude that the presence of orofacial clefts may predispose to periodontal compromise when compared to normal controls. The GRADE rating was moderate.

Published: September 2022

Introduction We describe a technique using an sclerocorneal endograft sewed through the cornea to solve late scleromalacia following exoresection and brachytherapy of a ciliary body melanoma. Methods Vitrectomy ports were placed. A perforating 400-micron trepan keratoplasty of the cornea was performed allowing the prepared donor graft to be inserted and sutured in place. Intravitreal Perfluorocarbon liquid (PFCL) was used to stabilize the pressure throughout and maintain the graft in place. Once sutured in place, the PFCL was removed and 5000cs of silicone oil introduced. An amniotic membrane was placed surrounding the scleromalacia. The cornea was closed with running sutures. Results At one month, the anterior segment optical coherence tomography showed successful endograft placement with no aqueous humor leakage nor hypotony. Currently, the conjunctiva is becoming slightly thicker due to light inflammation, and the eye has recovered the whiteness at the scleromalacia. Conclusions This internal graft technique provides advantages when dealing with poorly healing radiated tissue and reduces the risk of post-operative aqueous humor leakage. Surgeons may consider this approach in cases with a high risk of poor healing or complications resulting from lack of tissue.

Published: September 2022

Objectives: To assess technical factors and audience preferences before attending orthodontic online learning activity, the demand for which increased dramatically in the era of the COVID-19 pandemic. Design: Cross-sectional study. Setting: Online survey. Participants: Global orthodontic residents and specialists. Methods: A validated and anonymous survey comprising 17 online questions was sent to 3000 individuals. The data were collected three months later. Descriptive statistics and non-parametric tests were applied. Results: The participants’ response rate was 19.9%, with almost equal gender participation. Most of the responders were based in Asia (51.4%). Almost half of the participants were aged 25–35 years with less than 5 years of clinical experience. Regardless of the age, gender or global distribution, 57.3% of respondents opted to share limited personal information with the host. One-third of the respondents preferred receiving webinar reminders via email, ideally a day and/or one hour before the webinar, especially being exportable to their calendars. Age played a major role in shaping this trend, as young participants favoured the one hour (1-h) pre-webinar reminder more than other age groups ( P=0.02). Receiving information about the speaker, learning outcomes and pre-webinar reading material (WRM) were preferable, particularly among young participants in comparison with the older age groups ( P<0.05). Male participants from Asia and Africa preferred to attend online lectures during the mid-evening on weekends compared with women who were in favour of early evening sessions ( P<0.05). Conclusion: It must be borne in mind during the interpretation of the results that the data were collected during the COVID-19 pandemic. It is important to take into consideration the gender, age, cultural background and level of experience while setting up virtual orthodontic learning sessions. Organisers need to tailor their events to meet the needs of the attendees.

Published: September 2022

Purpose: To highlight the importance of 3-dimensional (3D) arterial printing in a case of type II endoleak (EL) embolization. Case Report: An 81-year-old patient, previously treated with endovascular aortic repair (EVAR), developed a type II EL requiring treatment. The EL’s main origin was the median sacral artery (MSA). Initial attempts in embolization via a transsealing and transarterial approach were unsuccessful owing to extremely tortuous arterial communications between the left hypogastric artery and the MSA. The construction of a clear resin 3D model of the aorta and iliolumbar arteries improved anatomy understanding and moreover allowed a preoperative simulation. The subsequent transarterial attempt in embolization was resolutive, significantly reducing total procedural time and radiation dose. Conclusion: Printing of clear resin 3D arterial models facilitates type II EL transarterial embolization, improving anatomy understanding and allowing simple fluoroscopy-free simulations. Clinical Impact The aim of our work is to highlight the additional value of three-dimensional (3D) printing during preoperative planning of challenging endovascular cases. To our best knowledge, this is the first report about 3D printing use in a case of type II endoleak (EL). We believe that realizing life-size aortic models in selected cases where a complex type II EL embolization procedure is indicated, could lead to a better understanding of arterial anatomy, thus allowing to increase procedural success and reduce operative and most importantly fluoroscopy time.

Objective The mainstay of first-line treatment of parotid tumors is adequate surgical removal. The present study was conducted to compare the differences between parotidectomy with postauricular incision (PI) and modified Blair incision (MBI). Data Sources A systematic search of PubMed, Embase and the Cochrane Library was performed. Methods The data of interest and study characteristics were extracted from the included studies. Statistical analysis was performed with Comprehensive Meta-Analysis software (version 3; BioStat, Englewood, NJ). Dichotomous data and continuous data were analyzed by calculating the risk difference and the mean difference with the 95% confidence interval respectively. Results Four retrospective studies were included in the present meta-analysis. The pooled results revealed that the cosmetic satisfaction score was higher in the PI group (MD = 2.67; 95% CI, 2.12 to 3.23) and that intraoperative blood loss was lower in the PI group (MD =  −55.35; 95% CI, −100.33 to −10.36). The operative duration (MD  =  −5.15; 95% CI, −24.06 to 13.75), tumor size (MD  =  −.07; 95% CI, −.27 to .13) and incidences of common postoperative complications were comparable between the two groups. Conclusions According to these findings, the use of PI in parotidectomies may be one of the options for improving cosmetic outcomes. This technique may be considered if oncological safety can be secured.

Objectives Adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATLL) is a blood neoplasm with specific geographic distribution. Although radiotherapy is a palliative treatment that provides long-term local control, single use of radiation leads to complications for patients. To introduce a novel multimodal approach against ATLL, we investigated combinatorial effects of 7-geranyloxycoumarin and radiation in vitro. Methods Viability of MT-2 cells was determined by resazurin assay upon administration of 7-geranyloxycoumarin alone and followed by radiation. Then, apoptosis was detected by annexin V and propidium iodide, and the expression of candidate genes was analyzed by qPCR. Results Findings revealed significant (P<.0001) improvement in radiation effects upon 7-geranyloxycoumarin pretreatment, most notably when cells were pretreated with 5 µg/ml 7-geranyloxycoumarin for 96 h, exposed to 6 Gy radiation and recovered for 48 h. These results were confirmed by flow cytometry, as the percentage of early and late apoptotic cells was increased after combinatorial treatment. In addition, significant (P< .0001) changes in CD44, c-MYC, cFLIPL, BMI-1, NF-κB ( Rel A), and P53 expression was induced by 7-geranyloxycoumarin and radiation. Conclusions Current research indicated, for the first time, that combinatorial use of 7-geranyloxycoumarin and ionizing radiation could be considered as an effective therapeutic modality for ATLL.

Authors: Bull Eleanor , Young Dore , Etchebarne Andre , Malpus Zoey 
Published: September 2022

Introduction Health inequalities continue to exist for individuals from an ethnic minority background who live with chronic pain. There is a growing recognition that an individual’s experience of pain is shaped by their cultural beliefs, which may influence their decisions about managing their pain. Aims This service evaluation aimed to (a) understand experiences of service users from a Black, Asian or other ethnic minority background of being invited to and attending a group pain programme in one secondary care pain rehabilitation service. (b) Provide recommendations to develop culturally grounded services to better meet the diverse needs of all service users living with chronic pain. Method Semi-structured interviews were conducted with five service users who had been offered a place on a group pain programme within the last 3 years. The interviews were recorded and transcribed verbatim. An interpretative phenomenological analysis was used to identify themes in the data. Results The analysis produced three themes (1) Pain, Ethnicity and Coping: Perceptions of pain and coping in relation to ethnicity and intersectional factors, alignment to a self-management approach. (2) Communication for Decisions: Experiences of ethnicity and culture in relation to health professional communication about group pain programmes, participants’ expectations and fears. (3) Feeling Included: Experiences of feeling included or excluded in group pain programme, relationships and empowerment during the group pain programme. Discussion The five service users shared a range of perspectives on how they felt ethnicity shaped their experience of the group pain programme. The findings suggest that adaptations to group pain programmes can make a meaningful difference for service users from ethnic minority backgrounds. 10 recommendations are suggested, including greater exploration of cultural beliefs during assessment, improving accessibility of information about the service and engaging more diverse attendees and facilitators.
