description: For the Run 2 of the LHC next-to-leading order electroweak corrections will play an important role. Even though they are typically moderate at the level of total cross sections they can lead to substantial deviations in the shapes of distributions. In particular for new physics searches but also for a precise determination of Standard Model observables their inclusion in the theoretical predictions is mandatory for a reliable estimation of the Standard Model contribution. In this article we review the status and recent developments in electroweak calculations and their automation for LHC processes. We discuss general issues and properties of NLO electroweak corrections and present some examples, including the full calculation of the NLO corrections to the production of a W boson in association with two jets computed using GoSaM interfaced to MadDipole.

description: The molecular carriers of the ubiquitous absorption features called the diffuse interstellar bands (DIBs) have eluded identification for many decades, in part because of the enormous parameter space spanned by the candidates and the limited set of empirical constraints afforded by observations in the diffuse interstellar medium. Detection of these features in circumstellar regions, where the environmental properties are more easily measured, is thus a promising approach to understanding the chemical nature of the carriers themselves. Here, using high resolution spectra from the APOGEE survey, we present an analysis of the unusually asymmetric 1.5272 micron DIB feature along the sightline to the Red Square Nebula and demonstrate the likely circumstellar origin of about half of the DIB absorption in this line of sight. This interpretation is supported both by the velocities of the feature components and by the ratio of foreground to total reddening along the line of sight. The Red Square Nebula sightline offers the unique opportunity to study the behavior of DIB carriers in a constrained environment and thus to shed new light on the carriers themselves.

description: Achieving controllable coupling of dopants in silicon is crucial for operating donor-based qubit devices, but it is difficult because of the small size of donor-bound electron wavefunctions. Here we report the characterization of a quantum dot coupled to a localized electronic state, and we present evidence of controllable coupling between the quantum dot and the localized state. A set of measurements of transport through this device enable the determination of the most likely location of the localized state, consistent with an electronically active impurity in the quantum well near the edge of the quantum dot. The experiments we report are consistent with a gate-voltage controllable tunnel coupling, which is an important building block for hybrid donor and gate-defined quantum dot devices.

description: Background: We aimed to identify differences in disparities among patients with a cancer in which screening is widely recommended (colorectal cancer [CRC]) and one in which it is not (esophageal cancer). Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed using 2004–2015 data from the National Cancer Database. Multivariable generalized logistic regression was used to identify potential differences in the effect of disparities in stage at diagnosis. Results: A total of 96,524 esophageal cancer patients and 361,187 CRC patients were included. Black patients, longer travel distances, and lower educational attainment were only associated with increased odds of stage IV CRC. While both Medicaid and uninsured patients were more likely to be diagnosed with stage IV esophageal and CRC, the effect was larger among CRC patients. From 2004 to 2015, the rates of stage IV esophageal cancer decreased from 42.0% to 38.2%, while the rates of stage IV CRC increased from 36.9% to 40.8% (p < 0.0001). Conclusions: Disparities are more pronounced in CRC, compared to esophageal cancer. Equity in access to screening and cancer care should be prioritized.

description: In recent years free-loating planets (FFPs) have drawn a great interest among astrophysicists. Gravitational microlensing is a unique and exclusive method for their investigation which may allow obtaining precious information about their mass and spatial distribution. The planned Euclid space-based observatory will be able to detect a substantial number of microlensing events caused by FFPs towards the Galactic bulge. Making use of a synthetic population algorithm, we investigate the possibility of detecting finite source effects in simulated microlensing events due to FFPs. We find a significant efficiency for finite source effect detection that turns out to be between 20% and 40% for a FFP power law mass function index in the range [0.9, 1.6]. For many of such events it will also be possible to measure the angular Einstein radius and therefore constrain the lens physical parameters. These kinds of observations will also offer a unique possibility to investigate the photosphere and atmosphere of Galactic bulge stars.

description: Introduction: Trauma is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality globally, with a disproportionate burden affecting low- and middle-income countries (LMIC). Rapid urbanization and differences in transportation patterns result in unique injury patterns in LMIC. Trauma registries are essential to determine the impact of trauma and the nature of injuries in LMIC to enable hospitals and healthcare systems to optimize care and to allocate resources. Methods: A retrospective database analysis of prospectively collected data in the Kamuzu Central Hospital (KCH) Trauma Registry from 2018 – 2019 was performed. Activity-based costing, a bottom-up cost analysis method to determine the cost per patient registered, was completed after systematically analyzing the standard operating procedures of the KCH trauma registry. Results: During the study period, 12,616 patients were included in the KCH Trauma Registry. Startup costs for the trauma registry are estimated at $3,196.24. This sum includes $1815.84 for personnel cost, $200 for database initiation (REDCap database), $342.50 for initial data clerk training, and $787.90 for registry and office supplies. Recurrent costs occurring in 2018, included personnel, technology, supply, and facility costs. Five data clerks, one data clerk manager, and a registry manager are required for 24/7 data collection, data integrity, and database maintenance, with an estimated cost of $29,697.24 per year. Yearly recurrent data clerk training costs are $137.00. Internet and facility costs for a data clerk office and secure record storage are $1632.60 per year. Supplies for the completion of trauma intake forms (binders, paper, pens) are $1431.80 per year. The total annual cost of the trauma registry at a tertiary hospital in Malawi is $33,361.64, which costs $2.64 per patient registered in the registry in 2018. Conclusion: Trauma registries are necessary for the assessment of the local trauma burden and injury pattern, but require significant financial commitment and time. To fully capture the local burden of trauma in resource-limited settings, acquiring, validating, and analyzing accurate data is crucial. Anticipating the financial burden of a trauma surveillance registry ahead of time is imperative.

description: We have detected four new HgMn stars, while monitoring a sample of apparently slowly rotating superficially normal bright late B and early A stars in the northern hemisphere. Important classification lines of Hg II and Mn II are found as conspicuous features in the high resolution SOPHIE spectra of these stars (R = 75000). Several lines of Hg II, Mn II and Fe II have been synthesized using model atmospheres and the spectrum synthesis code SYNSPEC48 including hyperfine structure of various isotopes when relevant. These synthetic spectra have been compared to high resolution high signal-to-noise observations of these stars in order to derive abundances of these key elements. The four stars are found to have distinct enhancements of Hg and Mn which show that these stars are not superficially normal B and A stars, but actually are new HgMn stars and should reclassified as such.

description: Background: Globally, traumatic injury is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in low-income countries. However, trauma centers in these environments have limited resources to manage complex trauma with minimal staffing and diagnostic tools. These limitations may be exacerbated at night. We hypothesized that there is an increase in trauma-associated mortality for patients presenting during nighttime hours. Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of all patients recorded in the Kamuzu Central Hospital trauma registry in Lilongwe, Malawi from January 2012 through December 2016. Nighttime was defined as 18:00 until 5:59. Patients brought in dead were excluded. A modified Poisson regression model was used to calculate the relationship between presentation at night and mortality, adjusted for significant confounders. Results: 74,500 patients were included. During the day, crude mortality was 0.8% compared to 1.4% at night (p < 0.001). The risk ratio of mortality following night time presentation compared to day was 1.90 (95% CI 1.48, 2.42) when adjusted for injury severity, assessed by the Malawi Trauma Score (MTS), and transfer status. When stratified by the year of traumatic injury, the risk ratio of death decreased each year from 2012–2014 but increased in 2015. There was no difference in 2016. Conclusions: We report the first description of diurnal variation in trauma-associated mortality in sub-Saharan Africa. Injured patients who presented at night had nearly twice the adjusted risk ratio of death compared to patients that presented during the daytime although there were yearly differences. Diurnal variation in trauma-associated mortality is a simple but important indicator of the maturity of a trauma system and should be tracked for health care system improvement.

description: Introduction: Burns are one of the most common injuries sustained globally. Low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) are disproportionately affected by burn injury morbidity and mortality; African children have the highest burn mortality globally. In high-income countries, early surgical intervention has shown to improve survival. However, when applied to burn victims in LMICs, improved survival in the early excision cohort (≤5 d) was not seen. Therefore, we aimed to determine the magnitude of the effect of surgical intervention on burn injury survival. Methods: A retrospective analysis of a prospectively collected data, utilizing the Kamuzu Central Hospital Burn Database from May 2011 to July 2019, was performed. Pediatric patients (≤12 y) were included. Patients were excluded if they underwent surgical intervention for nonacute burn care management. Bivariate analyses stratifying by type of surgical intervention was performed, comparing demographics, burn characteristics, surgical intervention, and patient mortality. Standardized estimates were adjusted using the inverse-probability of treatment weights to account for confounding. Weighted logistic regression modeling was performed to determine the odds of mortality based on if a patient underwent surgical intervention. Results: During the study, 2364 patients were seen at the Kamuzu Central Hospital, 1785 (75.5%) were children ≤12 y who met inclusion criteria. In the overall cohort, 342 (19.2%) underwent operations, including split-thickness skin graft (n = 196, 57.3%), debridement (n = 116, 33.9%), escharotomy (n = 19, 5.6%), and amputation (n = 1, 0.3%). The surgery cohort was older (4.2 ± 3.1 versus 3.1 ± 2.6 y, P < 0.001) with larger percent total body surface area burns (16%, interquartile range: 10-24 versus 13%, interquartile range: 8-20, P < 0.001) than those who did not have surgery. In the propensity score–weighted logistic regression predicting survival, patients undergoing surgery after burn injury had an increased odds of survival (odds ratio: 5.24, 95% confidence interval: 2.40-11.44, P = 0.003) when compared with patients not undergoing surgery. Conclusions: In this propensity-weighted analysis, surgical intervention following burn injury increases the odds of survival by a factor of 5.24 when compared with patients not undergoing surgical intervention. Efforts to enhance burn infrastructure to deliver surgical care is imperative to attenuate burn mortality in resource-poor settings.

description: Global surgery, especially academic global surgery, is of tremendous interest to many surgeons. Classically, it entails personnel from high-income countries going to low- and middle-income countries and engaging in educational activities as well as procedures. Academic medical personnel have included students, residents, and attendings. The pervasive notion is that this is a win–win situation for the volunteers and the hosts, that is, a pathway to bilateral academic success. However, a critical examination demonstrates that it can easily become the bold new face of colonialism of a low- and middle-income country by a high-income country.

description: There are multiple transitions in surgical education. Among the most significant are those from medical student to intern, from junior resident to senior resident, and from senior resident/fellow to independent practice. While there are new expectations and responsibilities associated with each of these roles, a surgeon's development should be thought of as more of a continuum with distinct points of greatest change and challenge. There are common themes at these various transitions that may be highlighted for both trainees and educators.

description: This prospective cohort study evaluated the associations of day and time of admission to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) with hospital mortality at a referral hospital in Malawi, a low-income country in sub-Saharan Africa. Patients admitted to the ICU during the day (08:00–16:00) were compared to those admitted at night (16:01–07:59); patients admitted on weekdays (Monday–Friday) were compared to admissions on weekends/holidays. The primary outcome was hospital mortality. Most patients were admitted during daytime (56%) and on weekdays (72%). There was no difference in mortality between night and day admissions (58% vs. 56%, P = 0.8828; hazard ratio [HR] = 1.09, 95% confidence interval [CI = 0.82–1.44, P = 0.5614) or weekend/holiday versus weekday admissions (56% vs. 57%, P = 0.9011; HR = 0.87, 95% CI = 0.62–1.21, P = 0.4133). No interaction between time and day was found. These results may be affected by high overall hospital mortality.

description: Introduction: Intentional burn injury outcomes are usually more severe, have a high mortality and are seen more often in low and middle-income countries. This study will examine the epidemiological characteristics of intentional burn injury patients and mortality outcomes at a regional Burn Center. Methods: This is a retrospective study of 11,977 patients admitted to a regional Burn center from 2002 to 2015.Variables analyzed were basic demographics (sex, age, and race), total body surface area of burn (%TBSA), presence of inhalation injury, Charlson comorbidity index, intent of injury, mortality, and hospital and ICU length of stay (LOS). Chi-square tests, bivariate analysis and logistic regression models were utilized to determine the effect of burn intent on outcomes. Results: Eleven thousand eight hundred and twenty-three (n = 11,823) adult and pediatric patients from 2002 to 2015 were included in the study. Three hundred and forty-eight (n = 348, 2.9%) patients had intentional burn injuries (IBI). Patients with IBI were younger, 26.5 ± 20 years compared to the non-intentional burn injury (NIBI) group (32 ± 22 years, p < 0.001). Mean %TBSA was significantly higher in the IBI vs. NIBI group at 14.6 ± 20 vs. 6.4 ± 10%, p < 0.001, respectively. Overall, Non-whites (n = 230, 66%) were more likely to have IBI, p < 0.001. Inhalation injury and mortality were statistically significant in the IBI group compared to the NIBI group, (n = 54,16%) vs. (n = 30, 9%) and (n = 649,6%) vs. (n = 329,2.9%), p < 0.001, respectively. Multivariate logistic regression did not show any significant increase in odds of mortality based on burn intent. In subgroup analysis of self-inflicted (SIB) vs. assault burns, SIB patients were significantly older, 38 years (±14.7) vs. 22.4 years (±20.5), p < 0.001 and had a higher %TBSA, 26.5 (±29.6) vs. 10.3 (±13.6), p < 0.001. Seventy three percent (n = 187, 73%) of assault burn patients were Nonwhite and Whites were more likely to incur self-inflicted burns, (n = 53% p < 0.001). Conclusion: We show that patients with intentional burn injuries have an associated increased %TBSA and inhalation injury without increased adjusted odds for mortality. Intentional burns increase health care expenditures. Violence prevention initiatives and access to mental health providers may be beneficial in reducing intentional burn injury burden.

description: We prove a reduction theorem for the tangent bundle of a Poisson manifold $(M, π)$ endowed with a pre-Hamiltonian action of a Poisson Lie group $(G, π_G)$. In the special case of a Hamiltonian action of a Lie group, we are able to compare our reduction to the classical Marsden-Ratiu reduction of $M$. If the manifold $M$ is symplectic and simply connected, the reduced tangent bundle is integrable and its integral symplectic groupoid is the Marsden-Weinstein reduction of the pair groupoid $M \times \bar{M}$.

description: Introduction: Burn injury is a significant contributor to mortality, especially in low and middle-income countries (LMICs). Patients in many communities throughout sub-Saharan Africa use traditional health practitioners for burn care prior to seeking evaluation at an allopathic burn center. The World Health Organization defines a traditional health practitioner as “a person who is recognized by the community where he or she lives as someone competent to provide health care by using plant, animal and mineral substances and other methods based on social, cultural and religious practices based on indigenous knowledge and belief system.” The aim of this study is to determine the prevalence of prior traditional health practitioner treatment and assess its effect on burn injury mortality. Methods: A retrospective analysis of the prospectively collected Kamuzu Central Hospital (KCH) Burn Surveillance Registry was performed from January 2009 through July 2017. Pediatric patients (<13 years) who were injured with flame or scald burns were included in the study and we compared groups based on patient or family reported use of traditional health practitioners prior to evaluation at Kamuzu Central Hospital. We used propensity score weighted multivariate logistic regression to identify the association with mortality after visiting a traditional healer prior to hospitalization. Results: 1689 patients were included in the study with a mean age of 3.3 years (SD 2.7) and 55.9% were male. Mean percent total body surface area of burn was 16.4% (SD 12.5%) and most burns were related to scald injuries (72.4%). 184 patients (10.9%) used traditional medicine prior to presentation. Only a delay in presentation was associated with prior traditional health practitioner use. After propensity weighted score matching, the odds ratio of mortality after using a prior traditional health practitioner was 1.91 (95% CI 1.09, 3.33). Conclusion: The use of traditional health practitioners prior to presentation at a tertiary burn center is associated with an increased odds of mortality after burn injury. These effects may be independent of the potential harms associated with a delay in definitive care. Further work is needed to delineate strategies for integrating with local customs and building improved networks for burn care, especially in rural areas.

description: Introduction: As a proportion of the overall population, sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) has the highest youth demographic, composing 60% of Africa’s unemployed. With the worsening economic crisis in low- and middle-income countries, unengaged youth are susceptible to gang violence and anti-government demonstrations, resulting in political instability. Methods: We performed a retrospective review of the Kamuzu Central Hospital Trauma Registry from 2008–2018. All adult patients (>14 years) injured by interpersonal violence (IPV) were included. Age was categorized as 15–24 (youth), 25–45, and >45 years. A bivariate analysis (IPV versus unintentional injury), and Poisson multivariable analysis were performed to identify factors increasing the risk of IPV. Results: During the study, 87,338 trauma patients presented; 30,532 (35.0%) were injured following IPV. Patients injured following IPV (28 years, IQR 23–34) were younger than those unintentionally injured (30 years, IQR 23–39, p < 0.001). More patients injured following IPV were unemployed (n = 7,178, 23.6% vs. n = 10,148, 17.9%, p < 0.001), injured at night (n = 19,346, 63.7% vs. n = 10,148, 17.9%, p < 0.001), and reported alcohol use (n = 4.973, 16.4% vs n = 2,461, 4.4%, p < 0.001). Being unemployed (RR 1.25, 95% CI 1.22–1.27), youth compared to age >45 years (RR 1.72, 1.66–1.79), and those injured at night (RR 2.18, 95% CI 2.14–2.23) had increased the risk of being victims of IPV. Conclusion: In Malawi, there is an interrelationship between unemployment and IPV, particularly in the youth population. Given impending demographic realities, government and non-government organizations should prioritize youth employment to help defer political instability in vulnerable nation-states.
